Abstract:
1. A solid-state X-ray detector, comprising: a photosensitive sensor a scintillator transforming X-rays into a radiation to which the sensor is sensitive, the scintillator including a support and a scintillating substance; the scintillating substance being deposited on a support through which the radiation to be detected must pass before reaching the sensor; an entry window though which the X-rays pass upstream of the scintillator, such that the support is positioned between the entry window and the scintillating substance; and a water vapor-tight seal attached to said photosensitive sensor and to said entry window and spaced from said scintillator, support and scintillator substance; wherein the entry window is adjacent to the scintillator, without being fixed to the scintillator, the entry window and the sensor being fixed by the water vapor-tight seal, the support being distinct from the sensor.
