Patent ID: 8822936

Claim:
A detector for detecting particle radiation of an energy in the range of 150 eV to 300 keV, said detector having at least one detector element, which detector element comprises a semiconductor detector material in a detector area, at least one set of line-shaped electrodes, which electrodes extend in the detector area and are conductively connected to at least one surface of the semiconductor detector material, and signal processors communicating with said line-shaped electrodes, wherein the individual set of line-shaped electrodes comprises a plurality of line-shaped electrodes, which in the individual set are distributed with a strip pitch of at the most 3 μm, wherein the semiconductor detector material has a thickness (t) of at the most three times the strip pitch (s) of said line-shaped electrodes, and wherein the signal processors comprise signal collecting means and signal readout means, which signal readout means have a read out capability of at least 8,000 frames per second (8 kfps).
