  • Low energy sensitive X-gamma dosimeter
    Patent number: 6300635
    Abstract: An X-gamma dosimeter responsive to low energy values includes X and gamma radiation detectors responding differently in relation to the dose absorbed at low energy. One detector overestimates the dose absorbed with regard to human tissues, while the other detector underestimates the absorbed dose. An electronic processor combines signals supplied by both detectors, the combination being optimized so as to report accurately the dosimetric quantity within a large energy range.

  • Apparatus for the microcollimation of particles, detector and particle detection process, process for the manufacture and use of said microcollimating apparatus
    Patent number: 5629523
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for the microcollimation of incident particles constituted by an array of microholes with a size of approximately 1 micrometer, which are drilled in a random manner, but oriented in parallel, in an insulating sheet having a thickness between a few micrometers and several millimeters. The present invention also relates to a detector and a process for the detection of particles, as well as to a process for the manufacture and use of said microcollimating apparatus.
