Hybrid detector

In hybrid detectors, different detector principles, methods or properties are combined in one detector ( hybrid for 'bundled', 'crossed' or 'mixed').

These include, for example:

• Hybrid photodetectors for the detection of small amounts of light: Combination of photomultiplier and avalanche photodiode
• Hybrid detectors for multi-line computer tomographs : Combination of matrix detectors and adaptive detectors
• Neutrino detector of the OPERA experiment : combination of photoemulsions (passive elements) and electronic detectors (active elements)
