    An apparatus for detecting radiation comprises a radiation converter (101), a photodetector (102), and a light guide (103) for conducting photons emitted by the radiation converter. The radiation converter is a layer in contact with a first Surface (105) of the light guide and the photodetector is attached to an opposite side of the light guide. A convex second surface (106) of the light guide receives the photons from the radiation converter and has a reflective coating (104) reflecting the photons backwards to the radiation converter that, in turn, reflects the photons to the photodetector. As the photons are reflected back-and-forth in the above-mentioned way, the photons can be directed to a small area even if the light guide is short in a direction (z) perpendicular to the first surface of the light guide.

    An apparatus for detecting radiation Field of the disclosure The disclosure relates generally to radiation detection.
    More particularly, the disclosure relates to an apparatus for detecting radiation such as e.g. gamma rays, X-rays, neutrons, alpha particles, beta particles, and/or other electrically charged or neutral particles.
    Background In many cases, there is a need to detect and measure radiation for example to ensure safety of people, analyze materials, and for many other purposes, too.
    The radiation to be detected may comprise for example gamma rays, X-rays, neutrons, alpha particles, beta particles, and/or other electrically charged or neutral particles.
    Radiation can be detected using radiation detectors such as for example a Geiger counter, an ionization chamber, a scintillation detector, a neutron detector, and so forth.
    In a scintillation detector, energy of incoming radiation is at least partly converted into photons that are, in turn, detected with a photodetector which produces electric output signals indicative of the detected photons.
    The electric output signals of the photodetector are processed with an appropriate processing system to produce output data suitable for an application under consideration. o 20 Organic and inorganic scintillator materials offer a platform for fabricating radiation > detectors which can be tailored for different applications.
    For specifying a detector 5 design, there are typically many aspects to define such as for example: i) > characteristics of radiation to be detected such as e.g. type, energy, and expected z flux, ii) mechanical constraints such as e.g. limitations of size and/or shape, so 25 mechanical stresses, and a need for mechanical flexibility, iii) electrical constraints E related to e.g. powering and signal read-out, iv) functional requirements such as e.g.
    D reguired detector efficiency, sensitivity, and radiation hardness, v) background N conditions such as e.g. radiation background and electric noise, and vi) operating environment-related aspects such as e.g. available cooling and variations in temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure.
    Furthermore, in detector design,
    it is advantageous to provide for an efficient signal extraction.
    In case of scintillating detectors, it is a well-known practice to use different types and geometries of light guides and/or light concentrators to maximize the number of photons arriving at a photodetector which can be either a photomultiplier tube PMT or a semiconductor- based photodetector such as e.g. a PIN diode, an avalanche P/N diode APD, or a silicon photomultiplier SIPM.
    The light guides/light concentrators enable larger detector areas to be read out by a photodetector with a small active surface area.
    As discussed above, there are numerous aspects to be considered when constructing an apparatus for detecting radiation.
    Furthermore, the apparatus for detecting radiation should be as cost-effective as possible.
    To improve the possibilities to fulfil the numerous aspects of the kind described above, there is still a need for new ways to construct apparatuses for detecting radiation.
    Summary The following presents a simplified summary to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of various invention embodiments.
    The summary is not an extensive overview of the invention.
    It is neither intended to identify key or critical elements of the invention nor to delineate the scope of the invention.
    The following summary merely presents some concepts of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to a more detailed description of exemplifying embodiments of the invention.
    In this document, the word “geometric” when used as a prefix means a geometric o concept that is not necessarily a part of any physical object.
    The geometric concept > can be for example a geometric point, a straight or curved geometric line, a 5 geometric plane, a non-planar geometric surface, a geometric space, or any other 2 geometric entity that is zero, one, two, or three dimensional.
    E 25 In accordance with the invention, there is provided a new apparatus for detecting 3 radiation such as e.g. gamma rays, X-rays, neutrons, alpha particles, beta particles, 3 and/or other electrically charged or neutral particles.
    An apparatus according to the S invention comprises: - a radiation converter comprising one or more conversion materials for converting radiation at least partly to photons, the one or more conversionmaterials comprising at least one scintillation material for producing the photons, - a photodetector for detecting the photons, and - a light guide for conducting the photons emitted by the radiation converter, the light guide comprising a first surface on a first side of the light guide and a convex second surface on a second side of the light guide opposite to the first side of the light guide. The radiation converter constitutes a layer that is parallel and in mechanical contact with the first surface of the light guide, and the photodetector is attached to the light guide on the second side of the light guide so that the second surface of the light guide extends from an outer periphery of the photodetector towards an outer periphery of the light guide. The second surface of the light guide has a reflective coating for reflecting the photons backwards towards the radiation converter and the radiation converter is arranged to reflect the photons arriving from the second — surface so that the photons are focused to the photodetector. As the photons are reflected in the above-mentioned way back-and-forth within the light guide, the photons can be directed to a small area even if the light guide is short in a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the light guide. Therefore, an active surface of the photodetector can be small compared to a radiation reception area of the radiation converter without a need for a long light guide between the o radiation converter and the photodetector. N Exemplifying and non-limiting embodiments are described in accompanied dependent claims.

    LO 3 D 25 Description of exemplifying and non-limiting embodiments
    O N The specific examples provided in the description below should not be construed as limiting the scope and/or the applicability of the accompanied claims. All lists andgroups of examples provided in the description are not exhaustive unless otherwise explicitly stated.
    Figure 1a shows a section view of an apparatus 100 according to an exemplifying and non-limiting embodiment for detecting radiation.
    Figure 1b shows a front view 5 of the apparatus, and figure 1c shows a back view of the apparatus.
    The section shown in figure 1a has been taken along a line A-A shown in figures 1b and 1c.
    The section plane is parallel with the yz-plane of a coordinate system 199. The apparatus 100 comprises a radiation converter 101 that comprises one or more conversion materials for converting incoming radiation at least partly to photons.
    The one or — more conversion materials comprise at least one scintillation material for producing the photons.
    In figure 1a, the incoming radiation is depicted with wavy line arrows and some of the photons are depicted with dashed line arrows.
    The apparatus 100 comprises a photo-detector 102 for detecting the photons produced by the radiation converter 101. The photo-detector 102 can be for example a semiconductor-based photodetector such as e.g. a silicon photomultiplier “SiPM” a PIN diode, or an avalanche P/N diode “APD”. A PIN-diode is a diode with a wide, undoped intrinsic semiconductor region between a P-type semiconductor region and an N-type semiconductor region.
    The photodetector 102 comprises wirings for powering and signal read-out.
    The wirings are not shown in figures 1a-1c.
    The apparatus 100 further comprises a light guide 103 for conducting the photons emitted by the radiation converter 101. The light guide 103 can be made of for > example transparent polymer.
    In many cases, an acrylic based polymer is N advantageous but there are also other materials which can be used as the material O of the light guide 103, e.g. polyvinyl toluene "PVT", acrylonitrile butadiene styrene N 25 “ABS’, polycarbonate “PC”, polystyrene “PS”, and non-polymers such as e.g. glass, = optical silicone, and crystals of other inorganic materials.
    The diameter D of the light 2 guide 103 can be, for example but not necessarily, in the range from 10 mm to 100 3 mm.
    In many applications, the diameter can be for example but not necessarily S about 30 mm.
    The light guide 103 comprises a first surface 105 on a first side of the light guide 103 and a convex second surface 106 on a second side of the light guide oppositeto the first side of the light guide. As shown in figure 1a, the radiation converter 101 constitutes a layer that is parallel and in mechanical contact with the first surface 105 of the light guide 103, and the photodetector 102 is attached to the light guide 103 on the second side of the light guide so that the second surface 106 of the light guide extends from the outer periphery of the photodetector 102 towards the outer periphery of the light guide 103. In this exemplifying case, the light guide 103 has a cavity for the photodetector 102 as it is shown in figure 1a. The second surface 106 of the light guide has a reflective coating 104 for reflecting the photons backwards towards the radiation converter 101, and the radiation converter 101 is arranged to reflect the photons arriving from the second surface 106 so that the photons are focused to the photodetector 102. The reflective coating 104 may comprise for example silver, aluminum, and/or white pigment material e.g. titanium oxide. As the photons are reflected in the above-mentioned way back-and-forth within the light guide 103, the photons can be directed to a small area even if the light guide 103 is short in the z-direction of the coordinate system 199. Therefore, the active surface of the photodetector 102 can be small compared to the radiation reception area of the radiation converter 101 without a need for a long light guide between the radiation converter 101 and the photodetector 102. The length L of the apparatus 100 in the z-direction of the coordinate system 199 can be for example from 15 % to 30 % of the diameter D of the light guide 103. The apparatus 100 can be manufactured e.g. in such a way that the three components: the radiation converter 101, the light guide 103, and the photodetector 102 are integrated using e.g. ultraviolet curable acrylic leading to good optical couplings between these = components and to good mechanical stability.
    N 5 25 In the exemplifying apparatus 100 shown in figures 1a-1c, the radiation converter & 101 is a layer on top of the first surface 105 of the light guide 103. It is however also E possible that a spatial area of the light guide 103 extending a given distance, e.g. 1 10 mm, from the first surface 105 towards the second surface 106 and the 3 photodetector 102 has one or more integrated conversion materials and thus the > 30 above-mentioned spatial area of the light guide constitutes the radiation converter that is parallel and in mechanical contact with the first surface 105 of the light guide
    103. For example, the above-mentioned spatial area of the light guide may compriseparticles of the one or more conversion materials so that the particles are mixed with the material of the light guide. An exemplifying case of the kind described above is illustrated in figure 4 where one of the particles is denoted with a reference 425. In an apparatus according to an exemplifying and non-limiting embodiment, the above-mentioned radiation converter 101 comprises one or more organic scintillator materials such as for example polyethylene napthalate “PEN”, polyethylene terepthalate “PET”, polyvinyltoluene "PVT containing napthalate, and/or polystyrene “PS” containing napthalate. Organic scintillator materials are typically low atomic number materials, i.e. low-Z materials, with densities in the range of about 1 g/cm. Most of the organic scintillators are doped, and there is a wide choice of signal photon wavelengths. However, e.g. polyethylene napthalate “PEN” is an intrinsic scintillator, and there is no need for activation components, leading to a highly competitive pricing of the scintillator material. The organic scintillator materials are relatively radiation hard. For example, polyethylene napthalate “PEN” has excellent radiation hardness, up to 1 MGy/year. The radiation to be detected may comprise for example gamma rays, X-rays, neutrons, alpha particles, beta particles, and/or other electrically charged or neutral particles. The scintillation material is selected based on the type or types of the radiation to be detected. Information about plastic scintillators fabricated by a polymerization reaction are presented e.g. by Cheol Ho Lee, et al.: Characteristics of Plastic Scintillators Fabricated by a Polymerization Reaction, Department of Nuclear Engineering, Hanyang University, 222 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, South Korea, o Nuclear Engineering and Technology 49, 2017, pp. 592-597. & < In an apparatus according to an exemplifying and non-limiting embodiment, the = 25 radiation converter 101 comprises one or more inorganic scintillation material such - as for example Gadolinium Aluminum Gallium Garnet "GAGG”, Gd3Al,Ga3O:,, E doped with cerium Ce, cesium iodide Csl, sodium iodide containing thallium Nal:T, 3 lithium iodide Lil, Cadmium telluride CdTe, cadmium zinc telluride CdZnTe, zinc > sulfide containing thallium ZnS:T, and/or zinc selenium containing thallium ZnSe:T.
    N In an apparatus according to an exemplifying and non-limiting embodiment, the radiation converter 101 comprises one or more primary conversion materials foremitting charged particles in response to the incoming radiation and one or more scintillation materials for producing photons in response to the charged particles emitted by the one or more primary conversion materials. The primary conversion materials may comprise for example Boron isotope-10 for detecting neutrons, Lithium isotope-6 for detecting neutrons, Gadolium natural or enriched with isotope- 157 for detecting neutrons, tungsten for detecting gamma radiation and beta radiation, lead for detecting gamma radiation and beta radiation, iron for detecting gamma radiation and beta radiation, copper for detecting gamma radiation and beta radiation, zinc sulfide ZnS for detecting charged particles having a mass at least a mass of a proton, and/or zinc selenium ZnSe for detecting charged particles having a mass at least a mass of a proton.
    In an apparatus according to an exemplifying and non-limiting embodiment, the radiation converter 101 comprises support material arranged to mechanically support the one or more conversion materials including the at least one scintillation — material. The support material can be at least partially optically transparent. The support material can be e.g. suitable polymer. Particles of the one or more conversion materials can be for example mixed with the support material for example so that the particles are uniformly distributed within the volume of the support material. It is also possible that the one or more conversion materials are e.g. printed on a surface of a membrane made of suitable support material. In an apparatus according to an exemplifying and non-limiting embodiment, the radiation converter 101 comprises a stack of membranes made of one or more support o materials and the one or more conversion materials are on surfaces of the S membranes. The membranes are stacked in the z-direction of the coordinate system 5 25 199. An exemplifying case of the kind described above is illustrated in figure 5 where & the membranes are denoted with references 521 and 522 and the one or more E conversion materials are denoted with references 523 and 524. E In the exemplifying apparatus 100 illustrated in figures 1a-1c, the first surface 105 > of the light guide 103 is planar. The second surface 106 of the light guide 103 can N 30 be for example paraboloidal for reflecting light arriving along the negative z-direction of the coordinate system 199 towards a focal point. In figure 1a, the focal point is depicted as a crossing point of dash-and-dot lines and denoted with a reference
    120. The photons are however directed to the photodetector 102 as they are reflected off the radiation converter 101 as illustrated in figure 1a with the aid of dashed lines. It is however also possible that the first and/or second surfaces of the light guide have shapes other than the above-mentioned. In other words, the first surface is not necessarily planar, and/or the second surface is not necessarily paraboloidal, but the second surface can be e.g. hyperboloidal or spherical as well. Suitable shapes of the first and second surfaces of the light guide for directing the photons to the photodetector 102 can be found for example with the aid of beam- optical simulations.
    Inthe exemplifying apparatus 100 illustrated in figures 1a-1c, the radiation converter 101 comprises one or more materials capable of reflecting the photons as illustrated in figure 1a with the aid of the dashed lines. Figure 2 shows a section view of an apparatus 200 according to another exemplifying and non-limiting embodiment for detecting radiation. The apparatus 200 shown in figure 2 is otherwise like the — apparatus 100 shown in figures 1a-1c but a front surface of the radiation converter 201, which is facing away from the photodetector 102, comprises a coating 207 that is penetrable by incoming radiation and capable of reflecting photons arriving from the second surface 106 so that the photons are focused to the photodetector 102 as illustrated in figure 2 with the aid of dashed lines. The coating 207 may comprise e.g. silver, aluminum, and/or white pigment material. Figure 3a shows a section view of an apparatus 300 according to an exemplifying and non-limiting embodiment for detecting radiation. Figure 3b shows a back view = of the apparatus 300. The section shown in figure 3a has been taken along a line = A-A shown in figure 3b so that the section plane is parallel with the yz-plane of a = 25 coordinate system 399. The apparatus 300 comprises a radiation converter 301 - comprising one or more conversion materials for converting radiation at least partly E to photons. In this exemplifying case, the radiation converter 301 is a plate-like E element and the apparatus comprises a plurality of light guides attached to the > radiation converter 301 so that first surfaces of the light guides are attached to a first N 30 side of the radiation converter 301. In figure 3a, three of the light guides are denoted with references 303a, 303b, and 303c. Figure 3b shows also a light guide 303d. The apparatus 300 comprises a plurality of photodetectors attached to the light guides.
    In figure 3a, three of the photodetectors are denoted with references 302a, 302b, and 302c. Figure 3b shows also a photodetector 302d. As shown in figure 3b, the first surface of each light guide has substantially the shape of a regular hexagon when seen along the geometric optical axis of the light guide under consideration i.e. along the z-axis of the coordinate system 399. In figure 3a, the first surface of the light guide 303a is denoted with a reference 305. The hexagonal shape is advantageous as it provides a coverage without significant gaps between adjacent ones of the light guides. It is also possible that there are separate radiation converters in conjunction with the light guides. Furthermore, it is also possible that each of the light guides comprises integrated one or more conversion materials in the vicinity of the first surface of the light guide under consideration, e.g. particles of the one or more conversion materials mixed with the material of the light guide. Powering and signal read-out of the apparatuses 100, 200, and 300 illustrated in figures 1a-1c, in figure 2, and in figures 3a and 3b can be carried out with a processing system connected to wirings of an apparatus under consideration. The processing system may comprise for example driver circuits, analogue-to-digital converters, and one or more digital processing circuits. Each digital processing circuit can be a programmable processor circuit provided with appropriate software, a dedicated hardware processor such as for example an application specific integrated circuit “ASIC”, or a configurable hardware processor such as for example a field programmable gate array “FPGA”. Furthermore, the processing system may comprise one or more memory circuits each of which can be for example a Random- o Access Memory “RAM” circuit. & < The specific examples provided in the description given above should not be 2 25 construed as limiting the scope and/or the applicability of the appended claims.
