ABSTRACT:
A radiation detector in which primary electrons are released into a gas by ionizing radiations and drifted through an electric field to a collecting electrode for detection. It further includes a gas electron multiplier formed by one or several matrices of electric field condensing areas which are distributed within a solid surface perpendicular to the electric field. Each electric field condensing area consists of a tiny hole passing through the solid surface that forms a dipole adapted to produce a local electric field amplitude enhancement proper to generate an electron avalanche from one primary electron. The gas electron multiplier operates thus as an amplifier or a preamplifier within a host radiation detector.
