Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1202322A1] The detector has a detector housing (10) with detector gas, at least one converter (22) that produces a conversion product by absorbing the particles to be detected, whereby the conversion products produce electrically charge particles in the detector gas, at least one readout device (19) for detecting charged particles and at least one drift field generator (18) for producing a field that causes charged particles to drift to the read-out device. Independent claims are also included for the following: a converter for a detector, a method of manufacturing a converter and a detection method for detecting electrically neutral particles, especially neutrons.
