Multiple Gamma-Ray Detection Capability of a CeBr3 Detector for Gamma Spectroscopy

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...

CdZnTe Gamma Ray Spectrometer for Orbital Gamma Ray Spectroscopy

We present the design and analysis of a new gamma ray spectrometer for planetary science that uses an array of CdZnTe detectors to achieve the detection efficiency needed for orbital measurements. The use of CdZnTe will provide significantly improved pulse height resolution relative to scintillation-based detectors, with commensurate improvement in the accuracy of elemental abundances determine...

Bridging the capability gap in environmental gamma- ray spectroscopy

Instrumentation for Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy

The subject of ttis chapter is the function and operation of the components of a gamma-ray spectroscopy system. In Chapter 3 it was shown that the output pulse amplitude from most gamma-ray detectors is proportional to the energy deposited by the gamma ray. The pulse-height spectrum from such a detector contains a series of full-energy peaks superimposed on a continuous Compton background. Alth...

The 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...
