The calibration method for the detection efficiency of solid state track detector to alpha is presented, and the detection efficiency of CN-85 and LEXAN to alpha is measured by this method. The results are 97% and 57% in CN-85 and LEXAN, respectively. The reason for a better result in CN-85 in not only the high sensitivity but also the low energy dependency with comparing for LEXAN. The peak detection efficiency is 3MeV and 1.8MeV in CN-85 and LEXAN, respectively.

Scintillators were polished in four steps using polishing paper, to reduce the optical loss occurring at their cross section when radiation detectors are fabricated with plastic scintillators. We studied the correlation between the polishing steps and detection efficiency and assessed the detection characteristics that are dependent in the polishing steps. Our results showed that the detection efficiency increased by approximately 7.75 times for a detector that used a scintillator polished in four steps, compared to a detector that used an depolished scintillator. For detectors fabricated using scintillators polished in different steps, better detection characteristics were obtained in terms of the activity, distance, and location of radiation, compared to detectors fabricated with an depolished scintillator.

In an interation-free measurement system with the polarization-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure, effects of two system imperfections, i.e., the system loss and the low quantum efficiency of photon detectors, on the system perfomance are analyzed, Although both the two system imperfections limit the maximal defection efficiency that can be achievable, we show that the quantum efficiency of photon detectors is less important when the system loss becomes small. In addition, for given system losses and quantum efficiencies, we derive the maximal detection efficiencies that can be achievable.

In this study, neutron detection efficiency of the UNDA system, which has been developed for study on nuclear material accountancy in a future pyro-process facility, was evaluated by using the MCNPX code. The detection efficiency was evaluated as a function of (1) positions of $^{252}Cf$ neutron source in the axial and radial directions, and (2) thicknesses and locations of the container filled with the depleted uranium materials for two different designs of the UNDA. In the case of $^{252}Cf$ source positions, detection efficiency was distributed from 6.83% to 13.35%. As $^{252}Cf$ source was positioned at upper part in the axial direction, detection efficiency was decreased after a slight increase. On the other hands, as $^{252}Cf$ source was positioned at outer part in the radial direction, detection efficiency was increased. In the case of container thickness, there was a slight decline when the thickness was increased. As the container was located at upper part, detection efficiency was decreased and as the container was located at outer part, detection efficiency was increased. Detection efficiency was varied from 10.31% to 13.61%. These values were higher than that of $^{252}Cf$ source case. The UNDA with polyethylene cover has about 2% higher detection efficiency than the UNDA without the cover.

시간지원 데이터베이스 시스템은 각 데이터 항목에 대해 현재 비젼뿐만 아니라 이력 버전들까지도 관리하기 때문에 시간지원 트랜잭션은 기존 데이터베이스 시스템의 트랜잭션보다 더 많은 데이터 레코드들을 액세스한다. 그러므로, 시간지원 데이터베이스 관리 시스템은 시간지원 트랜젝션들간의 충돌을 최소의 비용으로 검출하면서도 시스템 전체 성능의 저하를 유발하는 거짓 충돌(false conflict)을 검출하지 않고 실제 충돌을 정확하고 효율적으로 검출할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 시간지원 데이터베이스 시스템에서 동시적으로 실행되는 시간지원 트랜잭션들간의 효율적인 충돌 검출 기법으로서 2레벨 충돌 검출 기법을 제안하고, 모의 실험을 통하여 기존의 충돌 검출 기법들과 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 실험 분석의 결과로서 제안된 2레벨 충돌 검출 기법은 기존의 검출 기법들보다 동시적으로 실행되는 시간지원 트랜잭션들간의 충돌을 적은 비용으로 정확하게 검출할 수 있는 효율성이 입증되었다.

초고속,대용량,유-무선 통합 등의 광 통신 시스템 발전 요구에 따라 광 검출기는 점점 더 초고속,고출력의 사양을 요구 받고 있다. 기존 광소자의 일반적인 광 검출기구조에서는 속도와 효율이 서로 상반되어,40GHz이상의 속도와 고효율을 모두 얻기가 매우 어려우므로, 이를 해결하기 위하여 수동 광도파로가 집적된 광 검출기가 필요하다. 도파로형 광 검출기는 일반적으로 잘 알려져 있는 구조이지만 입사광을 수용하고, 광의 크기를 조절하여 광 흡수층에 제대로 전달하기 위해서는 광 도파로 및 구조에 대한 연구가 필요하다. (중략)

The full-energy peak efficiency for a collimated geometry of a Si (Li) detector has been experimentally determined using the electro-deposition sources. The radioactive sources of $^{51}$ Cr, $^{54}$ Mn, $^{57}$ Co and $^{65}$ Zn nuclides are prepared by the electro-deposition method. The measured efficiency values are corrected for the escape losses due to the K X-rays of silicon and the absorptions in materials related to source-to-detector geometry. The corrected efficiency values have turned out to be nearly constant regardless of photon energy.

The X-ray astronomy team of the Korea Astronomy Observatory(KAO) is planning to develop a multi-cell proportional counter, adopting an anti-coincidence method to reduce its internal background. We have developed a Monte Carlo code to determine the X-ray detection efficiency of the counter. As a check of our code, we successfully reproduced the detection efficiency of Ginga/LAC. In this paper, we report the simulation results for the counter being considered in KAO.

The distance between the source and the detector, the diameter of the detector, and the volume effect of the radiation source result in a change in solid angle at the detector entrance, which affects the determination of detection efficiency by causing a difference in path length within the detector. A typical analysis method for calculating solid angles was useful only for a source (⁶⁰Co) with a simple geometric structure, so in this experiment, the distance between the detector and the source was measured by switching on for up to 25 cm with the reference point of window cap 0.5 cm. In addition, 450 and 1000 ㎖ Marinelli beaker of standard volumetric sources were closely adhered to the detector. For circular point sources co-axial with the detector, the change in the solid angle to the distance from the detector window is equal to half the square radius of the source versus the square radius of the detector, if the resulting relationship of the calculation analysis results in the detector being less than the radius of the source. Since the solid angular difference is 0.5 the result of Monte Carlo is acceptable. The relationship between detector and source distance is shown. Solid angles have been verified to decrease rapidly with distance. Measurement and simulation results for a volumetric source show a difference of ±1.01% from a distance of 0 cm and less than 4 % when the distance is reduced to 5 and 10 cm. It can be seen that the longer distance, the smaller efficiency angle, and the exponential increase in attenuation as the energy decreases, is reflected in the calculation of efficiency. Thus, the detection efficiency has proved sufficient for the use of solid angle and Monte Carlo codes.
