For rapid detection and characterization of radioactive materials in rather large area, we have developed a portable 4π sensitive γ-ray imager based on Compton imaging. Using a prototype based on a 3D pixel array CdTe detector, radioactive source positions such as 137 Cs and natural uranium metal sample were identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
