Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A high-energy radiation radiation detector includes a collimator, coupled to one end of a scintillator and the other end of the scintillator optically coupled to an optical window. The optical window is composed of a material having a predetermined amount of heavy metal therein. The optical window is further coupled to a photomultiplier which generates an electrical signal based upon the amount of light directed thereon. A radiation shield extends only around the scintillator and around limited portions of the optical window to minimize the weight of the radiation detector. A method for detecting high-energy radiation includes the steps of collimating the radiation, transforming the …
