Abstract
A method for detecting a radioactive source moving on a linear path substantially parallel to an alignment of N detectors. The method includes: forming N×Npulse counting values M(i=1, 2, . . . , N and t=1, 2, . . . , N) from N×Ndetection signals delivered by the N detectors in the form of a succession over time of Nsets of N signals simultaneously detected by the N detectors over a same duration Δt, a pulse counting value representing a number of pulses detected by a detector over a duration Δt; and computing, using a computer: a set of Ncorrelation products R, a static meanof the N×Ncounting values, a correlation condition for each correlation product R.
