The KARMEN BSE detector is a scintillator based detection unit for scattered electrons which includes YAG:Ce scintillator and light-guide (Sensor Unit ), vacuum optical feed-through, bellows based vacuum retraction mechanism (Mechanical Unit ), photomultiplier (PMT) and Electronics Control Unit .
The scintillator is a YAG:Ce single crystal with a conductive ITO coating. The scintillating light is detected by the PMT module.
The retractable vacuum mechanics is motorized.
