Abstract :
We have developed, manufactured and investigated a novel type of long X-ray detector up to 1000 mm long with two exit windows. The sensitive element of the detector is an elongated polished rectangular plate of inorganic scintillator. The detector is highly sensitive to X-rays in the energy region of 50-250 keV. The factors influencing sensitivity and longitudinal uniformity of detector response have been considered
