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 کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of a Position Sensitive Gamma Ray Detector
The Monte Carlo method was employed to obtain the response of a position sensitive gamma ray detector. The basic unit consists of a scintillator bar coupled to two photon detectors. Determination of the position of interaction is obtained from the ratio of the light intensity measured at each extremity of the bar. Association of two or more detectors of this type can be used to build a system w...
متن کاملValidation of a Monte Carlo model for a GMX detector used for measurements of environmental radioactivity
In an Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory, samples from several products are analyzed, in order to determine the amount of radioactive products they contain. A usual method is the gamma activity measurement of these samples, which typically requires the use of High Purity Germanium Detectors (HPGe). GMX (n-type) detectors can be found among this group of detectors. They have a high efficienc...
متن کاملDetermination of virtual point for HPGe detector at various gamma rays energies by simulation and experimental methods
High Purity Germanium detectors (HPGe) are subdivisions of semiconductor detectors which are widely used in nuclear technology from space industry to nuclear medicine, due to their high resolution, low dead time, unlimited size and compatibility with a variety of environments. The( absolute and intrinsic) efficiency of the HPGe detector, which depends on the geometry of the source-detector syst...
متن کاملAssessment of X-Ray Crosstalk in a Computed Tomography Scanner with Small Detector Elements Using Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: Crosstalk is a leakage of X-ray or light produced in a matrix of X-ray detectors or array of photodiodes in one element to other elements affecting on image contrast and spatial resolution. In this study, we assessed X-ray crosstalk in a computed tomography (CT) scanner with small detector elements to estimate the effect of various parameters such as X-ray tube voltage, detector e...
