A four-channel YBa2Cu3O7−y thin film dc SQUID magnetometer was fabricated. Biomagnetic measurements were performed by using the four-channel system at 77 K in a magnetically shielded room. We have successfully measured four-channel magnetocardiac signals clearly in real-time mode. The best magnetic field resolution of the four SQUIDs was 370 fT/Hz1/2 at 10 Hz and 200 fT/Hz1/2 in the white noise region.
Characteristics of a gamma-ray detector that utilizes a 24×24×15-mm3 bismuth germanate (BGO) scintillator are measured. Fluorescent light output measured with a BGO crystal coupled to a R1306 photomultiplier (Hamamatsu TV) is found to be 15% that of a NaI(T1) scintillator for incident photons of a given energy. The FWHM of the time spectrum, measured with two BGO crystals coupled to R329-2 photomultipliers, is equal to 2.0 ns for a 68Ge–68Ga source at room temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
