Patent ID: 11971511
Assignee: ARKTIS RADIATION DETECTORS LTD.
Field: Environmental technology (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 20:
21. A method for operating a radiation detecting hallway according to claim 15, the method comprising:
detecting scintillation light generated in the plurality of adjoining plastic scintillator slabs by the plurality of silicon photomultiplier sensors;
generating a detection signal by at least one of the plurality of silicon photomultiplier sensors in response to the detected scintillation light;
generating a digitized signal for a signal analysis by executing a 1-bit digitization of the detection signal by the digitization circuit for determining an energy of detected radiation event(s); and
localizing a source of ionizing radiation within the radiation detecting hallway by correlating a strength of each detection signal of the plurality of silicon photomultiplier sensors, which are disposed on different rows of the plurality of panel radiation detectors.
