Radiation Detector And Method For Measuring Radiation With A Radiation Detector

A method for measuring radiation with a radiation detector, wherein the method comprises

• provision of a radiation detector, with
• a detector housing in which a detector chamber is formed;
• a radiation window, which is integrated into the detector housing and is permeable for radiation to be detected, in such a way that the radiation to be detected can pass through the radiation window into the detector chamber;
• a radiation sensor, which is accommodated in an environment of the detector chamber, and
• a mounting device, with which the radiation sensor is mounted on the detector housing;
• temperature regulation of the radiation sensor by means of a temperature-regulating device, which is disposed in the detector chamber and is thermally coupled with the radiation sensor;
• dissipation of heat arising during the temperature regulation of the radiation sensor via the detector housing;
• measurement of the radiation to be detected by means of the temperature-regulated radiation sensor when the latter is disposed in a first measurement position inside the detector chamber;
• and
• displacement of the radiation sensor into a second measurement position, which is different from the first measurement position, by means of a displacement device disposed on the mounting device and measurement of the radiation to be detected by means of the temperature-regulated radiation sensor when the latter is disposed in the second measurement position inside the detector chamber.
