Abstract

The instrument is designed on the basis of a fast scintillator and a high-speed image-converter tube for hard X and γ rays (≥10 keV). Using a scintillator, it is possible to obtain an almost constant spectral response over an energy range of 40–1000 keV. The time resolution of the camera is governed by the luminescence decay time in the scintillator and may go as high as 100–150 ps. The instrument is used at the ISKRA-5 facility to detect pulses of hard X rays.
