摘要
The principal of design and main characteristics of High Pressure Xenon (HPXe) gamma-ray detectors for energy range 0.1-5 MeV are described. High energy resolution of HPXe gamma-ray spectrometers (1.5% at 1 MeV) and availability to manufacture these detectors with different sensitive volumes (0.2-10 litres) allow to apply them as for stationary control portals as for portable inspection detectors. In both cases it is possible not only to register presence of radioactive or fissile materials but also to identify the type of these materials. Numerical tests of HPXe spectrometers and its application to different tasks have demonstrated their perspectives as an effective instrument to prevent acts of nuclear/radiological terrorism.
