Abstract: A multi-channel X-ray detector can include a first detector channel and a second detector channel. The first detector channel can include a first scintillation light guide component and a second scintillation light guide component arranged transverse to the first scintillation light guide component. The first and second scintillation light guide components can be mechanically and optically coupled to one another. The second detector channel can include a third scintillation light guide component adjoining the first scintillation light guide component, and a fourth scintillation light guide component arranged transverse to the third scintillation light guide component and adjoining the second scintillation light guide component. The third and fourth scintillation light guide components can be mechanically and optically coupled to one another.
