Abstract
A multicell x-ray radiation detector includes a chamber for confining a gas that produces electron-ion pairs incidental to absorbing radiation. The chamber is formed by a channel having a bottom and sidewalls, one of the side walls having a window for admitting radiation to the chamber. A multicell unitary electrode assembly is mounted within the chamber. An upper compressed elastic member is interposed between the electrode assembly and the chamber and, similarly, a rear compressed elastic member is interposed between the assembly and the sidewall opposite the window of the chamber. The compressed elastic members interposed between the electrode assembly and the chamber isolate the electrode assembly from any mechanical vibration and thermal distortion of the chamber while maintaining a precise position of the electrode assembly to the chamber window.
