Abstract

Experimental studies on the basic characteristics of IPs applied in γ-ray imaging are carried out by utilizing isotopic γ-ray sources. The 1.25 MeV γ-ray sensitivity of the BAS-MS and BAS-TR imaging plates and their enhanced sensitivity by covering appropriate Compton conversion foils are measured based on the studies of the image intensity linear calibration, time attenuation laws and the influence of scanning parameter settings. The energy-dependent γ-ray sensitivity of the IPs is also obtained by the studies of the measured sensitivity and the Monte Carlo simulated energy deposition in the IPs' sensitive layer. Furthermore, a method of a sandwich detection structure as well as its primary experimental validations are presented in order to increase the gamma-to-neutron ratio in a γ/n mixed radiation field.
