ARI-MA: Collaborative Research: Electron tracking for advanced gamma-ray imaging applications in Homeland Security

0736256维特这项工作将适应和实现适用于康普顿成像的硅漂移探测器。 PI将根据该设备的能力开发合适的算法，该设备将主要基于康普顿电子的能量沉积模式来实现康普顿成像。他们提出了除构建和软件开发之外的另一项工作，其中他们将评估其他电子跟踪工作。 该项目可以通过提供更高分辨率、低噪声的探测器而使被动询问技术受益。 对于国土安全和天体物理学中的某些应用，使用额外的源位置信息可以显着提高检测效率。这将通过电子跟踪来增强，因为这将进一步降低位置的不确定性并允许更好的背景减除。

0736256VetterThis work will adapt and implement a Si-drift detector suitable for Compton imaging. The PIs will develop suitable algorithms based on the capability of this device which will accomplish Compton imaging based primarily on the energy deposition patterns of the Compton electron. They propose another effort beyond building and software development in which they would evaluate other electron tracking efforts. The project could benefit passive interrogation technology by providing a higher resolution, low noise detectors. For certain applications in Homeland Security and astrophysics, the use of additional source location information can significantly enhance detection efficiency. This would be enhanced by electron tracking as this would reduce the uncertainty in the location further and allow better background subtraction.
