ABSTRACT:
A particle detector crystal comprising a diamond-shaped crystal scintillation material having 60 degree and 120 degree apexes and having at least one slot extending from a lower surface of that crystal into the interior of that crystal in a direction substantially parallel to a minor diagonal axis of the crystal a distance sufficient to reduce internal light bounce within that crystal. A plurality of such particle detector crystals are employed in groups of six each arranged with the 60 degree apexes of the crystals in each group positioned contiguous to each other to form a six-pointed star and further employing a plurality of light detectors arranged in a hexagonal array with each detector located above a respective situs of the contiguous 60 degree apexes.
