20110012012 | METHOD FOR LINEARIZING AN ENERGY SPECTRUM OF RADIATION DETECTORS - A method for linearizing a radiation detector is provided, the method including measuring a pulse height spectrum of a predetermined radiation source, identifying at least one spectrum template for the predetermined radiation source, and determining a linearization function by comparing the measured pulse height spectrum with the at least one identified spectrum template. The at least one spectrum template is a predefined synthesized energy spectrum for the predetermined radiation source and for the corresponding radiation detector. Further, a detector for measuring one or more types of radiation is provided, the detector being adapted for transforming the measured pulse height spectrum in an energy-calibrated spectrum, the transformation including a linearization step, where a linearization function used with the linearization step is determined according to the inventive method. | 01-20-2011 |
20100006763 | Detector System with Positioning System - Provided is a detector module for measuring one or more types of radiation, in particular X-ray, gamma ray, or nuclear particle radiation, comprising a detection unit, an analog-to-digital converter, an information processing device, and a memory device for storing the position of the detector module. The detector module comprises at least one light-emitting diode (LED), optically connected with the detection unit for stabilizing the detector unit. Further, the invention provides a stanchion, in particular a portable stanchion, whereby the stanchion comprises a inventive detector module. Yet further, a (wireless) network of detector modules is provided, whereby each detector module is mounted within a stanchion. | 01-14-2010 |
