  • Radiation detector with converters
    Patent number: 7186986
    Abstract: A high efficiency radiation detector employs longitudinally extending converter elements receiving longitudinally propagating radiation to produce high-energetic electrons received by detector structures in interstitial spaces. The secondary electron generation in this architecture allows great freedom in selection of converter materials and thickness. A variety of detector mechanisms may be used including ionization-type detectors or scintillation-type detector.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 17, 2002
    Date of Patent: March 6, 2007
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Ralf Hinderer, Harald Keller, Thomas R. Mackie, Jeffrey Kapatoes, David W. Pearson, Paul J. Reckwerdt, Richard C. Schmidt
