Abstract

A modular pixelated detector system was developed for imaging applications, where spectroscopic analysis of detected particles is advantageous e.g. for energy sensitive X-ray radiography, fluorescent and high resolution neutron imaging etc. The presented system consists of an arbitrary number of independent versatile modules. Each module is equipped with pixelated edgeless detector with spectroscopic ability and has its own fast read-out electronics. Design of the modules allows assembly of various planar and stacked detector configurations, to enlarge active area or/and to improve detection efficiency, while each detector is read-out separately. Consequently read-out speed is almost the same as that for a single module (up to 850 fps). The system performance and application examples are presented.
