Detectors based on wide-gap insulating crystals for registration of intensive beams of nuclear, x-ray, and electromagnetic radiation

The paper concerns the development of a new type of semiconductor detectors based on wide-gap insulating crystals, which are not polarized during the registration of intensive nuclear radiation, x-ray or electromagnetic waves. The detectors offered allow simultaneous registration of the shape and intensity and energy (doze) of radiation as well. I.e. they are detectors-dozemeters of radiations, reveals linear lux-ampere characteristics in a wide range of radiation intensities, are highly sensitive and stable under radiation. Detectors could be prepared on the basis of various insulating crystals with a gap width 2 - 6 eV.
