Abstract
A detector of high-energy (higher than 100 eV) ionising radiation, including an optical fibre having an outside diameter, called the fibre diameter, smaller than 250 microns, including a fibre core, a first cladding, called the useful cladding, encircling the fibre core and a second cladding, called the protective cladding, encircling the useful cladding, and a scintillating layer provided to convert the ionising radiation into light; including a portion, called the detecting portion, arranged in a length of the fibre and having a void formed in the protective cladding, in the useful cladding, and possibly in the fibre core, the scintillating layer being arranged in the void in contact with the useful cladding and the fibre core.
