LIGHT-FIBER SCINTILLATION DETECTOR Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: detector has block for registering x-ray and nuclear emissions in form of filaments assembly and photo-detector, in optical contact with each other. Filaments, included in registering block, are scintillation fiber crystals Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ (BGO) of same length with diameter from 0,05 mm and greater. If x-ray or nuclear emission gets onto end portion of registering block filaments, on the latter visual picture of particles tracks or space distribution of emission is displayed with resolution, appropriate for diameter of used filaments. This image is transferred along BGO filaments to photo-detector, where actual registering of visual picture takes place.

EFFECT: higher efficiency, higher thermal stability.
