A newly designed vacuum Compton gammaray detector with Ta-Al cladmetal electron converter plate is described. The detecting efficiency for 1.25 MeV gammaray is 7.85×103 e/γ, which is 2.5 times higher than that with Fe converter plate. The designed detector has the merits of well processed and static vacuum keeping and can be used for intense pulsed gamma ray detecting.
