Application and development of noncontact detection method of α-particles based on radioluminescence

Abstract

The detection of α-particles is of great significance in military and civil nuclear facility management. At present, the contact method is mainly used to detect α-particles, but its shortcomings limit the broad application of this method. In recent years, preliminary research on noncontact α-particle detection methods has been carried out. In this paper, the theory of noncontact α-particles detection methods is introduced and studied. We also review the direct detection and imaging methods of α-particles based on the different wavelengths of fluorescence photons, and analyze the application and development of this method, providing an important reference for researchers to carry out related work.
