Abstract
The results of the study of the multiwire porous dielectric detector and microstrip porous dielectric detector filled with porous CsI are presented. Detectors were exposed to -particles with energy of 5.46 MeV and X-rays with energy of 5.9 keV and operated with a constant applied voltage. It is found that right after thermal deposition of the porous CsI layer the detector's performance is unstable, it has poor spatial resolution. However in a course of time the performance becomes stable and it acquires high spatial resolution.
