IONIZATION DETECTOR HOUSING, MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, IONIZATION DETECTOR USING SUCH HOUSING, AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING SENSOR SIGNAL RESPONSE

摘要

The housing comprises an aluminum body 112 in which is formed an elongated concavity and a steel end plate 114 in which an elongate concavity is formed, the housing and the plate being fitted together with interposing a steel gasket 118 and a support 118A for this gasket so that the two concavities form a pressure-resistant chamber 120 thanks to the presence of reinforcing means 126, the concavity of the plate comprising a slot 128 through which a wafer 145 carrying a series of detector elements passes sealingly, the chamber also containing a voltage plate 144 parallel to the wafer which carries the detector elements and being filled with a dielectric gas under pressure ( xenon) that can be ionized by radiation.
