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 sensitiv e element of the detector is an elongated polished rectangular plate o f inorganic scintillator, The detector is highly sensitive to X-rays i n the energy region 50-250 keV. The factors influencing the sensitivit y and longitudinal uniformity of the detector response have been consi dered.
