Title:
DETECTOR DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/115608
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a detector device for detecting a penetration depth of a particle beam (22) applied to a target volume (23), comprising at least one detection device (25, 52). The detection device (100, 150) is configured and designed to detect photons, in particular gamma quanta, which are created in the target volume. The invention further relates to a method for determining a penetration depth of a particle beam (22) applied to an object (24), in particular a target volume (23) of the object (24), wherein photons, in particular gamma quanta, which are created by an interaction of the particle beam (22) in the object (24), are detected.
