Abstract: A method of assembling a detector includes conditioning a rare-earth halide scintillator crystal in a sealed container, wherein the conditioning process includes heating the scintillator crystal, reducing the pressure within the sealed container for an evacuation period while heating, and flowing a purging gas through the sealed container for a flowing duration while heating. The method further includes assembling a detector comprising the scintillator crystal in an assembly environment comprising an inert gas.

Abstract: In one aspect a scintillation array includes a transparent material between portions of adjacent scintillation pixels. The transparent material can allow light to pass from one scintillation pixel to an adjacent scintillation pixel. The resulting image provides information regarding the depth at which a scintillation event occurs. Another aspect regards a scintillation array that includes reflector strips separating portions of adjacent scintillation pixels. Other spaces between portions of scintillation pixels need not include reflector strips and may be filled with other reflective material.

Abstract: A radiation detector device is disclosed and includes a photosensor and a scintillation device coupled to the photosensor. The scintillation device includes a scintillator crystal enclosed within a casing. The scintillator crystal is optically coupled to a window at an end of the casing. The scintillation device includes a dielectric gas inside at least part of the casing. The dielectric gas is adapted to reduce or prevent static discharge within the scintillation device.
