A radiation sensing device subdivided in N*M pixels, comprising: a conversion part to convert an impinging radiation into an electrical signal, a processing part having: for each pixel, at least two counters associated to different regions, so that a ratio of counters to pixels is at least equal to 2, an arbitration circuit which, for each pixel: receives detection information from the pixel and neighbouring pixels, taking into account detection information for the pixel and neighbouring pixels, allocates a detection value to an elected counter.

A method for determining a particle impact on a sensor device comprising M sensing areas, each impact causing a variation of at least one physical magnitude of several sensing portions, said method comprising the steps of: determining an impact center sensing area, where the variation of the at least one physical magnitude is substantially maximal, allocating a result of a sum of the physical magnitude variations of a first set of N sensing areas, said set including the impact center area and other sensing areas neighboring said impact center sensing area, where N is at least 2 and is strict less than M.
