DETECTOR PROTECTION METHOD FOR PROTECTING FLAT DETECTORS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION AND/OR PARTICLE RADIATION, AND DETECTOR PROTECTION ASSEMBLY

摘要

The invention relates to a detector protection method for protecting flat detectors for electromagnetic radiation and/or particle radiation from excessive local intensities in an experiment to be conducted, wherein multiple absorbers are positioned in front of portions of a detector surface, the detector protection method comprising the steps of: 1. preparatory configuration: a. specifying a threshold value Inm for the intensity at a point of the detector surface, in accordance with the expected intensity maxima on the basis of the experiment to be conducted and the necessary intensity Ix, required for conducting the experiment, of the primary beam used for measurement, and in accordance with the maximum intensity which the detector can withstand; b. loading magazines with, or providing magazines having, absorbers of different shapes and sizes, selected in accordance with the type of experiment to be conducted; 2. determining a position pattern of the absorbers; 3. computer-aided automatic placing of the absorbers on an absorber carrier on the basis of the position pattern; 4. checking the positions of the placed absorbers and conducting the measurement. The invention also relates to a detector protection assembly for protecting flat detectors for electromagnetic radiation and/or particle radiation from excessive local intensities.
