Abstract: The present invention discloses a microfabricated scintillation detector, comprising a channel structure (26) for containing a liquid scintillator material therein and flowing said liquid scintillator material therethrough. The channel structure (26) comprises first and second sets (30, 36) of adjacent channel portions (32, 38) arranged in first and second layers (34, 40) and in fluid communication with each other. The second set (36) of adjacent channel portions (38) is directed at right angles with respect to the first set (30) of adjacent channel portions (32). The first and second layers (34, 40) are stacked on top of each other with a separation layer (42) in between, integrally connecting said first and second layers (34, 40). The channel structure (26) simultaneously forms a light guiding structure for guiding scintillation light (52) towards a longitudinal end of the corresponding channel portion (32, 38). The scintillation detector (24) further comprises a plurality of photo detectors (54), arranged such as to receive said scintillation light (50).

Abstract translation: 本发明公开了一种微制造的闪烁检测器，其包括用于在其中容纳液体闪烁体材料并使所述液体闪烁体材料流过其中的通道结构（26）。 通道结构（26）包括布置在第一和第二层（34,40）中并且彼此流体连通的相邻通道部分（32,38）的第一组和第二组（30,36）。 相邻通道部分（38）的第二组（36）相对于相邻通道部分（32）的第一组（30）成直角。 第一和第二层（34,40）在其之间彼此堆叠，其间具有分离层（42），整体地连接所述第一和第二层（34,40）。 通道结构（26）同时形成用于将闪烁光（52）朝向对应的通道部分（32,38）的纵向端引导的导光结构。 闪烁检测器（24）还包括多个光电检测器（54），其布置成接收所述闪烁光（50）。
