Detection system of ionizing radiation emitted by sources, such as radioactive samples and the like, detection sensors and detection method

Abstract

The present invention relates to a detection system (1, 1′, 1″) of radiation emitted by a source (C) comprising: at least one detection unit (2, 2′, 2″), having a support substrate (21), a detection layer (22), arranged on said support substrate (21) and comprising one or more detection sensors (4), to detect the radiation emitted by a contaminating agent (C) by generating an electrical signal following the interaction with the ionizing radiation, and an insulating film (23), arranged on said detection layer (22), with which the contaminating agent (C) can come into contact, so that the ionizing radiation emitted by said agent is detected by one or more detection sensors (4); and at least one interaction terminal (3), connected to said detection unit (2, 2′, 2″) and configured to detect and communicate the position of said contaminant (C) based on the detection sensors affected by the ionizing radiation emitted by said contaminant (C). The present invention also relates to a detection unit (2, 2′, 2″) and a method for detecting radiations emitted by a source (C).
