Preliminary results from the Submarine Gamma Imager

Abstract

In this work, we present preliminary results of a novel Submarine Gamma Imager (SUGI) being developed based on pixelated CdZnTe detector modules. The instrument, mounted on a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), has been tested in a series of field deployments performed at the hydrothermal fields on the island of Milos, Greece. The analysis of the collected data demonstrate the capabilities of the instrument, while comparison with a reference gamma detector confirms the validity of the results.
