THREE-AXIS ASYMMETRIC RADIATION DETECTOR SYSTEM

摘要

A three-axis radiation detection system whose inner electrode (16a) and outer electrode (14a) are shaped and positioned so that the shortest path between any point on the inner electrode (16a) and the outer electrode (14a) is a different length whereby the rise time of a pulse derived from a detected radiation event can uniquely define the azimuthal and radial position of that event, and the outer electrode (14a) is divided into a plurality of segments in the longitudinal axial direction for locating the axial location of a radiation detection event occurring in the diode (10a).
