1. A one-dimensional position indicating and counting radiation detection system comprising:

  • a radiation detection element for receiving the radiation to be detected and yielding an output charge in response to the radiation impinging upon said element;

    first charge collection means receiving said output charge, said charge collection means being coupled to a first input of a divider means, so that said divider receives an input proportional to said output charge;

    charge splitting means receiving said output charge, said charge splitting means splitting said output charge into a proportional charge indicative of the position at which said output charge strikes said splitting means, the output of said splitting means being coupled to a second input of said divider so that a voltage proportional to said proportional charge is input to said divider;

    said divider serving to divide said proportional charge voltage by said output charge voltage so that the output of said divider is indicative of the position at which said radiation impinged upon said detection element.
