Abstract
A radiation detector that can be used to detect the intensity of radiation fields and provide feedback to the user about the location of radiation fields. The radiation detector has a number of radiation detection volumes that are arranged in a staggered pattern relative to a sweeping direction of the radiation detector. The staggered arrangement of the detection volumes allows a large gap-free detection volume that is composed of smaller detection volumes in order to provide adequate sensitivity.
Claims23
