Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013026577A2] The invention relates to a position-sensitive detector for detecting photon or particle distributions, wherein the detector receiving surface (1) is formed by a plurality of detector cells (2) from individual detector elements that are connected to a plurality of readout channels (5). The assignment of the detector cells (2) to the readout channels (5) is chosen in such a way that a position of a focal point of a photon or particle distribution impinging on the detector receiving surface (1) can be determined locally from signals of the readout channels (5). The detector enables a high spatial resolution with a small number of readout channels.
