Abstract

The design and manufacture of the ionizing radiation detectors is based on the deep knowledge of the physical phenomena interfering in the moment of introducing the detectors in the radiation field. Ionizing radiation detection is accomplished using different instruments or devices. The detection and measurement of the ionizing radiation field is a complex technological transfer process developing between the different stages of the chain: basic concept – realization. The detectors for different ionizing radiation types cover a large domain of applications. This work presents the design and manufacturing procedure of such ionizing radiation detectors, based on specific physical phenomena..
