  • Compact particle sensor
    Patent number: 9824786
    Abstract: An energy sensor is provided including a collimator comprising a plurality of sensor apertures aligned in a plurality of directions configured to allow passage of an energetic particle or photon in a specific direction for respective apertures of the plurality of sensor apertures and at least one energy detector configured to measure the energetic particle or photon including a plurality of detector segments. Respective detector segments of the plurality of detector segments are aligned with the respective sensor apertures and a detector segment which measures the energetic particle or photon is indicative of a directionality of the energetic particle or photon.
