7. Glossary¶
7.1. Terminology¶
- detector
- a piece of hardware that changes incident photons to signal, can consist of several sensitive segments or channels (e.g. photodiode array)
- pixel
- channel
- one sensitive unit in detector, one unit in recorded signal
- reconstruction plane
- a plane that is either observed by detectors or lines of sights are transformed to it, usually poloidal cut is used for tokamaks
- node
- voxel
- one segment in reconstruction plane described by a local basis function
- camera
- enclosure for detector defining view and ensuring survival of detector (shielding, cooling…)
- line of sight
- chord
- line approximating area that given detector channel can observe
