Development of Large area Gamma-ray Camera with GSO(Ce) Scintillator Arrays and PSPMTs
We have developed a position-sensitive scintillation camera with a large area absorber for use as an advanced Compton gamma-ray camera. At first we tested GSO(Ce) crystals. We compared light output from the GSO(Ce) crystals under various conditions: the method of surface polishing, the concentration of Ce, and co-doping Zr. As a result, we chose the GSO(Ce) crystals doped with only 0.5 mol% Ce,...
متن کاملSiPM-MAROC gamma-camera prototype with monolithic NaI(Tl) scintillator.
National Research Nuclear University, Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Russia A full-body gamma-camera based on SiPM readout is currently under development as a part of MEPHI R activity supported in the framework of Russian Megagrants program. A goal of this development is a fast upgrade of existing medical equipment with minor changes in a system design and construction in order to combin...
متن کاملGamma-ray Pulsar Simulations for the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST)
We present here the current status of pulsar simulations for the Large Area Telescope, the main instrument on the GLAST mission. We present PulsarSpectrum, a pulsar simulator that can reproduce with high detail gamma-ray emission from pulsars. PulsarSpectrum takes into account advanced timing effects, e.g. period changes with time, barycentering effects and glitches. Other ancillary tools have ...
متن کاملThe influence of electron multiplication and internal X-ray fluorescence on the performance of a scintillator-based gamma camera
When considering the ‘standard’ gamma-camera, one might picture an array of photo-multiplier tubes or a similar array of small-area detectors. This array of imaging detectors would be attached to a corresponding array of scintillator modules (or a solid layer of scintillator) in order to give a high detection efficiency in the energy region of interest, usually 8-140 keV. Over recent years, dev...
متن کاملGlast, the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope
The exchange between laboratory physics and astrophysics has demonstrated through centuries of science to be at the origin of fundamental discoveries. GLAST, a detector for cosmic γ rays in the range from 20 MeV to 300 GeV, is built around this idea: both the design of the instrument and the guidelines for science originate from a partnership of researchers from High Energy Physics (HEP) and Hi...
