Title:
【発明の名称】放射線検出器及び面ビームラジオグラフィー用装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002541489
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A detector (64) for detection of ionizing radiation, and an apparatus for use in planar beam radiography, including the detector (64). The detector (64) includes a chamber filled with an ionizable gas; first and second electrode arrangements (2, 1, 18, 19) provided in the chamber with a space between them, the space including a conversion volume (13); an electron avalanche amplification unit (17) arranged in the chamber; and, at least one arrangement of read-out elements (15) for detecting of electron avalanches. A radiation entrance is provided so that radiation enters the conversion volume between the first and second electrode arrangements. In order to achieve detectors which are simple to stack with each other, the first and second electrode arrangements exhibit a first and a second main plane, said planes being non-parallel. This permits stacked detectors to be manufactured simply and cost effectively.
