ABSTRACT:
A two dimensional mosaic scintillation X-ray or Gamma ray detector has many mosaic elements. A reflecting means, e.g., an epoxy with TiO.sub.2, is disposed between the elements to reduce optical cross-talk. The elements have wide narrow ends and either the wide ends or the narrow ends can receive the incident X-rays. A photodetector is optically coupled to the remaining ends either by being directly secured thereto or by way of a lens or optical fibers. The detector has communicating wide and narrow grooves and can be made by first forming the wide grooves from a first side and then forming the narrow grooves from the second side.
