Simulated response characteristics of Gammasphere
The response of the Ge detector array Gammasphere to y-rays, both individually and in cascades, has been modeled with the Monte Carlo code GEANT 3. The effects on the performance of Gammasphere of including an auxiliary detector, the Microball, are investigated. The use of the existing Ge detectors and BGO suppression detectors as a y-ray multiplicity and total y-ray energy spectrometer is expl...
متن کاملPrototype Calorimeters for Linear Collider Detectors
For several years, CALICE has been testing highly granular calorimeter prototypes using analogue readout. These devices are envisaged for particle flow [1] application in a future linear collider detector. A novel alternative, especially interesting for the hadron calorimeter, is to use a simplified digital (= 1 – bit) readout coupled with very small cell sizes. In the past year the first large...
متن کامل“Neutron Shell”: A high efficiency array of neutron detectors for γ−ray spectroscopic studies with Gammasphere
A shell of neutron detectors was designed, constructed, and employed in γ−ray spectroscopy with Gammasphere. It consists of up to 35 tapered regular hexagons that replace the same number of forward Ge-detector modules in Gammasphere. The shell was designed for high detection efficiency and very good neutron−γ discrimination. The simultaneous use of time of flight, and two methods of pulse shape...

متن کاملPosition Sensitive Germanium Detectors for the Advanced Compton Telescope
The nuclear line region of the gamma ray spectrum remains one of the most challenging and elusive goals of high energy astrophysics. The scientific objectives are well defined, but require well over a factor of 10 increase in sensitivity compared to present day instruments to be achieved. The most promising approach to achieve this sensitivity and a broad range of scientific objectives is offer...
