Design and Development Of Scintillation – Based Gamma Dosimeter Using SIPM Detector

To protect the priceless lives of the personnel, a personal dosimeter that can track exposure levels in real time is essential. A specific technology to measure ionizing radiation should exist in order to know the dose absorbed by any living thing. Gamma radiation was discovered using the Scintillation-Based Personal Dosimeter. When subjected to ionizing radiation, the scintillator (CsI(Tl) - Cesium Iodide doped with Thallium) emits visible light. Using a SiPM detector, visible photons are transformed into an electrical signal. Using electronics, the electrical signals obtained are converted to digital pulses which is passed to the microcontroller to process the data. The fundamental principle utilized to detect ionizing radiation is scintillation crystal's light emission is directly proportional to the energy of ionizing radiation.
