11.1  INTRODUCTION

The detection of ionizing radiation is an important task for a number of technologically and socially relevant activities, ranging from environmental monitoring to industrial, security, and health applications. As such, a large variety of detectors for ionizing radiations have been developed in the past, based either on gas-filled containers ...
