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

Claim 0:
1. A panel radiation detector for detecting radiation event(s) of ionizing radiation, comprising:
a plurality of adjoining plastic scintillator slabs,
a plurality of silicon photomultiplier sensors arranged at an edge of at least one of the plurality of adjoining plastic scintillator slabs and configured to detect scintillation light generated in the plurality of adjoining plastic scintillator slabs responsive to radiation event(s),
a plurality of signal processing units, each of the plurality of signal processing units being connected to one of the plurality of silicon photomultiplier sensors, wherein each of the plurality of signal processing units comprises a digitization circuit configured to generate a digitized signal for a signal analysis by executing a 1-bit digitization of a detection signal generated by at least one of the plurality of silicon photomultiplier sensors in response to the detected scintillation light for determining an energy of detected radiation event(s),
a pre-amplifying circuit configured to pre-amplify the detection signal generated by the at least one of the plurality of silicon photomultiplier sensors, and
a pulse-shaping circuit configured to pulse-shape the pre-amplified detection signal, wherein the digitization circuit is configured to execute the 1-bit digitization of the pulse-shaped pre-amplified detection signal.
