Abstract

The invention relates to an ionising radiation detector that comprises a housing including an avalanche photodiode having its photosensitive surface in contact with the scintillating material via an optical coupler, and a preamplifier of the electric signal of the avalanche photodiode. The detector is compact, portable and very sturdy. It is capable of detecting X or gamma radiation with an excellent resolution that can be lower than 3% at 662 keV.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of detection of ionizing radiation, in particular X-rays or gamma-rays, by means of crystal scintillators. Background technique [0002] Ionizing radiation, which includes ionizing particles such as, inter alia, protons, neutrons, electrons, alpha particles and X-rays or gamma rays, is usually detected by means of single crystal scintillators which convert the incident radiation into light, The light is then converted into an electrical signal by means of a photomultiplier tube. In the case of X-rays or γ-rays, the scintillators used can especially be made of doped single crystals of NaI, CsI, lanthanum halides. Crystals based on lanthanum halides have been the subject of recent work such as those published in US7067815, US7067816, US2005 / 188914, US2006 / 104880 and US2007 / 241284. These crystals are promising in terms of luminescence intensity and resolution, but require special care due to their hygroscopic propertie...
