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 کاملIntroduction: recent developments in the study of gamma-ray bursts.
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are immensely powerful explosions, originating at cosmological distances, whose outbursts persist for durations ranging from milliseconds to tens of seconds or more. In these brief moments, the explosions radiate more energy than the Sun will release in its entire 10Gyr lifetime. Current theories attribute these phenomena to the final collapse of a massive star, or the c...
متن کاملRecent developments in X-ray imaging with micrometer spatial resolution.
X-ray detectors for imaging with a spatial resolution in the micrometer and submicrometer range have been developed at synchrotron radiation sources since 1996. The detectors consist of a scintillator, a light microscopy optic and a charge-coupled device (CCD). The scintillator converts part of the X-ray stopped by a material into a visible-light image which is projected onto the CCD by the lig...
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...
