Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this study, we present the gamma-ray detection performance of LYSO, YSO(Ce) and BGO scintillators read out by a 9 ch. micropixel avalanche photodiode (MAPD) array with a high pixel density (PD) and photon detection efficiency (PDE). The array with an active area of 11.5 × 11.5 mm 2 was assembled using single MAPDs with an active area of 3.7 × 3.7 mm 2 . It had a single output signal and was developed for gamma spectroscopy. Breakdown voltage measurements were carried out for each channel, as a result of which the optimal operating voltage for the array was found. The linearity range and energy resolution for each crystal were determined in the energy range from 30 to 1770 keV . The high pixel density of the array allowed to achieve good linearity in the studied energy range.
