ABSTRACT:
A detector for the detection of, for example, Cerenkov radiation includes an entrance screen (5) which may cover more than half of an envelope (1); the majority of the envelope is preferably spherical. A photo-electron detecting exit screen (11) is proportioned and arranged inside the envelope (1) so that a small decay time and a high sensitivity are achieved. A scintillant exit screen (11), which is mounted on an indentation (15) in the envelope (1), can thus produce, in conjunction with a photomultiplier tube (17) mounted inside the indentation (15), a photoelectric intensification by a factor 100.
