  • Cylindrical ionization detector with a resistive cathode and external readout
    Patent number: 7078704
    Abstract: A new design for a cylindrical ionization detector, featuring a resistive cathode, and external pickup wires that sense both the azimuthal and radial coordinates of interaction vertices. Combined with measurement of the longitudinal coordinate (using resistive anode wire charge division or other technique), the proposed design can provide an accurate 3-dimensional imaging detector and offer improved spectroscopic response.
