Description
A position sensitive detector was made to participate to medical γ imagery, with an image intensifier, in a compact geometry. It has a working area of 25 x 25 mm2 and a thickness of 500 μm. The photo-detector read-out allows obtaining a localization of the impact point as well as the information concerning the transferred energy. In a measurement with 5.5 MeV α particles of 241Am a spatial resolution of 300 μm is evidenced. The energy resolution with the same source is around 100 keV
