Abstract :
Light collection in scintillators ZnSe(X), where X is an isovalent dopant, were studied using Monte Carlo calculations. Optimum design was determined for detectors of "scintillator - Si-photodiode" type, which can involve either one scintillation element or scintillation layers of large area made of small-crystalline grains. The calculations were carried out both for determination of the optimum scintillator shape and for design optimization of light guides, on the surface of which the layer of small-crystalline grains is formed.
