Study of Counting Characteristics of Porous Radiation Detectors
This paper presents the development of a new technology of registration of
ionizing radiation and a new type of detectors - single-cathode multiwire
porous detector with neither a gaseous nor semiconductor, but a porous
dielectric substance, e.g., CsI, being used as working medium. It is shown that
the performance of the multiwire porous detector is stable, ensuring highly
efficient detection of both heavily ionizing particles and soft X-rays with a
spatial resolution better than . The continuous stable performance
opens up new perspectives for using porous detectors in research as well as
medicine. The obtained data are basic for the development of the theory of the
phenomenon of electrons' drift and multiplication in porous dielectrics under
the action of a strong external electric field.Comment: 43
