Abstract

Servocontrol is achieved on a radiation detector that controls a motor (7) that makes a rod (9) slide, tilting a mobile portion (12) of an absorbing enclosure (2) to open or close a collimation slit (3) and adjust the amount of radiation received by the detection solid (1) to an ideal value for measurement precision.This device can be used particularly in gamma spectrometry.
