Abstract
The present invention discloses a microfabricated scintillation detector, comprising a channel structure () for containing a liquid scintillator material therein and flowing said liquid scintillator material therethrough. The channel structure () comprises first and second sets () of adjacent channel portions () arranged in first and second layers () and in fluid communication with each other. The second set () of adjacent channel portions () is directed at right angles with respect to the first set () of adjacent channel portions (). The first and second layers () are stacked on top of each other with a separation layer () in between, integrally connecting said first and second layers (). The channel structure () simultaneously forms a light guiding structure for guiding scintillation light () towards a longitudinal end of the corresponding channel portion (). The scintillation detector () further comprises a plurality of photo detectors (), arranged such as to receive said scintillation light ().
