Porous CsI multiwire dielectric detectors

The multiwire porous dielectric detectors developed earlier worked stable in combination with a pulsed voltage supply, which limited their application. In this work a new type of multiwire porous dielectric detector has been developed and investigated. Such detectors operate at a constant voltage supply and thus in a permanent mode. These detectors are shown to exhibit a good time stability and a highly efficient detection of both heavily ionizing particles and soft X-rays and have standard deviation of a spatial resolution of better than σ=±18 μm.
