Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A detector arrangement to be scaled or adapted in a simple manner depending on the application includes n·m (n≥2, m≥2) thermal conductivity detectors that are each arranged in a mounting on a detector block having a high thermal conductivity, wherein each case m detector block is secured radially symmetrically and spaced apart from one another on a carrier having a central opening, forming a detector module, and n detector modules are located on a common axis by the central openings of the carriers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A detector arrangement having nm thermal conductivity detectors and n detector modules, wherein n≥2 and m≥2 and the thermal conductivity detectors are each arranged in a mounting on a respective one of detector blocks having a high thermal conductivity; wherein each m detector blocks is secured radially symmetrically and spaced apart from one another on a respective carrier to form a respective detector module, the respective detector module including a respective central opening; and wherein the n detector modules are located on a common axis via the respective central opening of each respective carrier. 2. The detector arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each respective carrier includes a hub, containing the respective central opening, the m detector blocks being secured on wings or spokes on the hub. 3. The detector arrangement as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each respective carrier consists of a material having a high thermal conductivity. 4. The detector arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each respective carrier consists of a material having a high thermal conductivity. 5. The detector arrangement as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each respective carrier and the detector blocks secured thereon are formed in one single piece. 6. The detector arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each respective carrier of immediately adjacent detector modules are each offset to one another at an angle which is less than or equal to half the angular distance between the m detector blocks of a detector module. 7. The detector arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each detector module has m=4 detector blocks.
