Abstract
Disclosed are detectors, of the type comprising scintillators, enabling the detection of radiation with different energy levels. The scintillator used in the case of a double energy X-ray detector consists of two materials, one sensitive to high-energy radiation and the other sensitive to low-energy radiation, the former emitting green radiation and the latter emitting red radiation. These radiations are spatially separated by green and red filters before being measured by photodiodes.
