Abstract

The objectives of this study are to measure and to remove Cerenkov lights generated in a fiber-optic radiation sensor by a charge-coupled device. we have fabricated a fiber-optic radiation sensor which comprises an organic scintillator, a plastic optical fiber and a charge-coupled device. Charge-coupled device as a light measuring tool has many advantages which are easy in multi-dimensional measurements, high spatial resolution and relatively low cost.
