Abstract
The invention relates to a detector element () for gamma radiation, which is particularly suitable for use in a PEF apparatus. The detector element () consists of two or more different conversion units (), which react to the absorption of a gamma quantum (y) with light emissions (λ, λ) of different spectral composition. A photodetector arrangement () may therefore discriminate between the sites of origin of the light emissions by means of their spectral characteristics.
