Abstract

A detector for detecting the traces of ionizing particles includes a scintillator capable of emitting photons when ionizing particles pass therethrough; a first imager capable of detecting each photon emitted by the scintillator, and a first microlens array, each microlens of the first microlens array being arranged such as to produce an image of the trace of the particles by focusing the photons emitted in the scintillator on the first imager.
