Description

A triode filled with xenon at atmospheric pressure can be used as an X-ray detector since it produces an appreciable amount of light per quantum absorbed. Various methods are described for studying and reducing the deadtime after the passage of a spark. This detector can be used in medicine for the detection of tumours and also for the rapid recording of diffraction diagrams. (author)

Abstract (French)

Une triode, remplie de xenon a la pression atmospherique, sert de detecteur de rayors X en fournissant une quantite de lumiere importante par quantum absorbe. Diverses methodes sont decrites permettant d'etudier et de reduire le temps mort apres le passage d'une etincelle. Ce detecteur sert a la localisation de tumeurs en medecine et a l'enregistrement rapide de diagrammes de diffraction. (auteur)
