Abstract
A method of determining directionality of radiation is disclosed which comprises dividing the tensioned metastable fluid liquid volume adjacent to a radioactive source into a plurality of sectors, determining the opposing sector ratio of the respective sector and determining the direction of the radiation based on the opposing sector ratios of the plurality of sectors. The method further comprising determining directionality of incoming radiation from the tension pressure assisted elongation of bubble shapes pointing towards direction of radiation particles that interacted with nuclei of tensioned metastable fluid detector system. A device capable of carrying out these methods is also disclosed.

A method for determining the direction of a radiation source comprising,
- creating a volume of an acoustically tensioned metastable fluid in a chamber;
- placing the tensioned metastable fluid volume in the proximity of a radiation source;
- detecting the location of radiation induced cavitation events within the tensioned metastable fluid:
- determining the total number of cavitation events in at least two sectors of the tensioned metastable fluid;
- determining a ratio of cavitation events between at least two sectors and
- identifying the direction of the radiation source as in the direction of the sectors giving the highest ratios.
A method of determining directionality of radiation comprising,
- creating a volume of an acoustically tensioned metastable fluid in a chamber;
- establishing a pressure gradient in the tensioned metastable fluid in the chamber sufficient to cause elongation of cavitation bubble events generated in response to incoming radiation such that the direction of elongation is along a directional axis that aligns with the direction of incoming radiation;
- placing the tensioned metastable fluid volume in the proximity of a radiation source;
- monitoring the shape of the cavitation bubble nucleation events;
- identifying the direction of the radiation source as being in the direction of the elongation of the cavitation bubble events.
