ABSTRACT:
A two-dimensional energy position detector includes an array of wedge-shaped anodes arranged in an alternating sequence. Each of the anodes is connected to a multiplexer which is controlled by a sequencer to place the signals from the anodes in a predetermined sequence onto a multiplex output line. A data processor may then analyze the signal on the multiplex output line to determine the position of energy incident on the anodes.
