Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A detector for detecting ionizing radiation comprises a scintillator 10 selected to emit light in response to incidence thereon of radiation to be detected, at least one detector 16 for detecting said emitted light, and at least one optical waveguide 12 for transmitting said emitted light to said detector 16 . The optical waveguide typically comprises a flexible solid or hollow fiber that can be incorporated into a flexible mat or into a fiber-reinforced structure, so that the detector is integrated therewith.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A detector for detecting ionising radiation, comprising: a scintillator selected to emit light in response to incident radiation; at least one detector for detecting the emitted light; a plurality of optical waveguides, the plurality of optical waveguides disposed orthogonally in rows and columns and for transmitting the emitted light to the detector, wherein each of the plurality of optical waveguides comprises a hollow optical fibre containing a…
