Abstract
A radiation detector for imaging a sheet-shaped beam () of ionizing radiation comprises an electron multiplication chamber () filled with a medium for electron multiplication; and a solid multichannel structure () arranged in the path of the sheet-shaped beam within the chamber, wherein the structure liberates electrons () in response to being exposed to the radiation. An electron detecting means () is provided for detecting the electrons spatially resolved to thereby image the sheet-shaped beam. The structure () is of a scintillating material, so that said the structure emits scintillating light in response to being exposed to the radiation; and detecting means () are provided for detecting scintillating light () emitted from the structure.
