Scintillation-Cherenkov Detector and Method for High Energy X-Ray Cargo Container Imaging and Industrial Radiography

摘要: An inspection system, and corresponding methods, employing a detector for characterizing high energy penetrating radiation transmitted through an inspected object. The produces signal that is due to both scintillation Cherenkov processes. components of the are discriminated processed obtain separate measures relative attenuation higher lower in target intervening between source detector. In certain embodiments invention, on basis distinct spectral features, or, alternatively, by processing temporal characteristics single photodetector.
