Directional detector of gamma rays
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6953248
A directional detector of gamma rays comprises a strip of an electrical conductor of high atomic number backed with a strip of a second electrical conductor of low atomic number. These elements are enclosed within an electrical conductor that establishes an electrical ground, maintains a vacuum enclosure and screens out low-energy gamma rays. The detector exhibits a directional sensitivity marked by an increased output in the favored direction by a factor of ten over the output in the unfavored direction. 4 figs.
