Gamma ray polarimetry using a position sensitive germanium detector
Imaging gamma-ray detectors make sensitive polarimeters in the Compton energy regime by measuring the scatter direction of gamma-rays. The principle is to capitalize on the angular dependence of the Compton scattering cross section to polarized gamma rays and measure the distribution of scatter directions within the detector. This technique is effective in a double-sided germanium detector betw...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of a Position Sensitive Gamma Ray Detector
The Monte Carlo method was employed to obtain the response of a position sensitive gamma ray detector. The basic unit consists of a scintillator bar coupled to two photon detectors. Determination of the position of interaction is obtained from the ratio of the light intensity measured at each extremity of the bar. Association of two or more detectors of this type can be used to build a system w...
متن کاملA Position Sensitive Gamma-Ray Scintillator Detector With Enhanced Spatial Resolution, Linearity, and Field of View
The performance of a position sensitive gamma-ray scintillator detector (PSD) is described. This PSD is based on a lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate (LYSO) crystal read out by a crossed-wire anode position sensitive photomultiplier tube (PSPMT). The main difference with respect to similar existing devices is the individual multi-anode readout (IMAR) approach that is followed here. This method a...
متن کاملSelf-Balancing Position-Sensitive Detector (SBPSD)
Optical position-sensitive detectors (PSDs) are a non-contact method of tracking the location of a light spot. Silicon-based versions of such sensors are fabricated with standard CMOS technology, are inexpensive and provide a real-time, analog signal output corresponding to the position of the light spot. An innovative type of optical position sensor was developed using two back-to-back connect...
متن کاملA Position Sensitive Detector for 1 - 10 MeV Gamma RaysJoel
A position sensitive detector for 9 MeV gamma rays has been developed as part of a contraband detection system for airports. The system images contraband, such as explosives or drugs, in a geometry similar to medical x-ray computed tomography. A point source of gamma rays shines through an unknown object. Transmission projections of the areal density of detected gamma rays are reconstructed int...
