摘要:
A time sensitive detector is provided, comprising a detector input face for transmitting a quantum beam incident onto the detector; an anode; a first electron multiplication cascade provided between the detector input face and the anode, the first electron multiplication cascade comprising at least one electron multiplication device arranged in a stack; a high voltage supplier providing a potential gradient between the input face and the output face of the first electron multiplication cascade, and means for measuring a detection timing pulse for timing the detection of the quantum beam incident onto the detector. The means for measuring a detection timing pulse is connected to an input face of one of the at least one electron multiplication devices of the first electron multiplication cascade, and an output face of one of the at least one electron multiplication devices of the first electron multiplication cascade is connected to a ground potential.
摘要:
The position calculation of prior art position sensitive detector systems relies on a known geometry pattern of individual electrodes and the distribution of the charge parts. A heuristic estimation is made in order to calculate an initial coordinate of irradiation. In contrast, the present invention allows one to calculate the position of an incident particle in terms of direct mapping of the measured detector response into position coordinates detector surface. The device for estimating the space coordinates of an irradiation position onto a detector comprises a position sensitive detector; an irradiation source; means for measuring the response of detector generated upon irradiation by irradiation source; and an artificial neural network structure provided such that the measured detector response is the input to the artificial neural network structure and the initial space coordinates of irradiation are the output of the artificial neural network structure.
