The effect of the geometry and construction of a single element of detector
matrix on the noise/signal ratio when recording bremsstrahlung is investig
ated. Data for a CdWO4 scintillator-Si-photodiode type detector are obtaine
d and it is concluded that the contribution of the noise to the relative er
ror is small. Recommendations are made for a further reduction in the noise
/signal ratio in this system.
