Design of a High-Energy and High-Resolution detector for X-ray computed tomography

The Nuclear Measurement Laboratory (LMN) at CEA Cadarache in France is developing a high-energy tomograph reaching energies up to 21 MeV with high dose rates. It allows performing tomographies on massive objects (5 tons, 140 cm diameter) with a multimillimetric spatial resolution. For the control of...
