Gamma-ray imaging with coaxial HPGe detector
We report on the first experimental demonstration of Compton imaging of gamma rays with a single coaxial high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. This imaging capability is realized by two-dimensional segmentation of the outside contact in combination with digital pulse-shape analysis, which enables to image gamma rays in 4p without employing a collimator. We are able to demonstrate the ability t...
متن کاملMeV Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector with micro-TPC
We propose a new imaging gamma-ray detector in the MeV region. By measuring the directions and energies of not only a scattered gamma ray but also a recoil electron, the direction of an incident gamma ray would be essentially reconstructed event by event. Furthermore, one of two measured (zenith and azimuth) angles of a recoil electron gives us an additional redundancy which enables us to rejec...
متن کاملThe Agile Gamma-ray Detector
The gamma-ray detector AGILE, operating in the energy range from 30 MeV to 50 GeV, is composed by a tracking part, a light calorimeter and an anticoincidence system. Here we describe the detector and its capabilities to determine the arrival direction and energy of the detected photons. The AGILE design is derived from a refined study of the GILDA project (Barbiellini et al. 1995, Morselli et a...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Field Gamma-ray Spectrometry by NaI(Tl) and HPGe Detectors in the South Caspian Region
Natural radionuclides present in soil as well as certain anthropogenic radionuclides released to the environment are the major contributors to terrestrial outdoor exposures. In the assessment of human exposures from environmental radioactivity, besides the conventional method of soil and vegetation sampling combined with laboratory based analyses of environmental media, the other choice would b...
متن کاملX-Ray Imaging with a Silicon Microstrip Detector
A single photon counting X-ray imaging system, with possible applications to dual energy mammography and angiography, is presented. A silicon microstrip detector with 100 mm pitch strips is coupled to RX64 ASICs, each of them including 64 channels of preamplifier, shaper, discriminator and scaler. The system has low noise, good spatial resolution and high counting rate capability. Results on en...
