'''Radiation detectors''' provide a signal that is converted to an electric current. The device is designed so that the current provided is proportional to the characteristics of the incident radiation.

These systems are also known as xenon 'emission detectors'.<ref name="dolgoshein">B. A. Dolgoshein, V. N. Lebedenko & B. I.
