3. Physical principles of direct detection
3.1 Introduction and general issues
As we saw in paragraph 1 , the sensitive volume of the detector must fulfil two functions:
absorption of radiation by ionization of the medium ;
the "restitution" of an electrical signal thanks to the charges generated within it.
