Abstract
Abstract
Plastic scintillator detectors are used in high energy
physics as well as for diagnostic imaging in medicine, beam
monitoring on hadron therapy, muon tomography, dosimetry and many
security applications. To combine particle tracking and calorimetry
it is necessary to build detectors with three-dimensional
granularity, i.e. small voxels of scintillator optically isolated
from each other. Recently, the 3DET collaboration demonstrated the
possibility to 3D print polystyrene-based scintillators with a light
output performance close to that obtained with standard production
methods. In this article, after providing a further
characterization of the developed scintillators, we show the first
matrix of plastic scintillator cubes optically separated by a white
reflector material entirely 3D printed with fused deposition
modeling. This is a major milestone towards the 3D printing of the
first real particle detector. A discussion of the results as well
as the next steps in the R&D is also provided.
