Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a device (1) for locating sources of ionising radiation (2A, 2B), comprising: an ionising radiation detector (10) suitable for detecting and supplying a detection signal representative of ionising particles; a circular linear coded mask (20) rotated about the ionising radiation detector (10); a processing unit (40) configured to determine, from the detection signals and the orientations of the coded mask (20), and based on a convolution product, information concerning the direction of the at least one source of ionising radiation (2A, 2B) relative to the ionising radiation detector (10) in a plane perpendicular to a rotational axis of the coded mask (20). The invention further relates to a method for locating sources of ionising radiation (2A, 2B).
