Gamma-ray tracking arrays

A National Plan for Development of Gamma-ray Tracking Detectors in Nuclear Science by the Gamma-ray Tracking Coordinating Committee

Charge transport in arrays of semiconductor gamma-ray detectors.

We analyze the effects of electrode size on performance of arrays of semiconductor gamma-ray detectors, especially when there is significant charge trapping. With large electrodes, motions of holes and electrons are of equal importance, but when the positive electrode is segmented into an array of small elements the contributions of holes to the output, and hence the effects of hole trapping, a...

Spectral hardness evolution characteristics of tracking Gamma-ray Burst pulses

Employing a sample presented by Kaneko et al. (2006) and Kocevski et al. (2003), we select 42 individual tracking pulses (here we defined tracking as the cases in which the hardness follows the same pattern as the flux or count rate time profile) within 36 Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) containing 527 time-resolved spectra and investigate the spectral hardness, Epeak (where Epeak is the maximum of the...

Formation interface detection using Gamma Ray log: A novel approach

There are two methods for identifying formation interface in oil wells: core analysis, which is a precise approach but costly and time consuming, and well logs analysis, which petrophysists perform, which is subjective and not completely reliable. In this paper, a novel coupled method was proposed to detect the formation interfaces using GR logs. Second approximation level (a2) of GR log gained...
