Response of AGATA segmented HPGe detectors to gamma-rays up to 15.1 MeV

“…The energy and direction of 66 the individual photons are extracted through dedicated 67 gamma-ray tracking algorithms [29-32]. It should be 68 remarked that the individual interaction points are 69 extracted with sub-segment precision, which 70 experimentally turns out to be better than a 3D 71 Gaussian with 5 mm FWHM in each direction (see for 72instance [33][34][35][36]). In order to achieve this goal, 73 remarkable effort has been concentrated on the 74 characterization of highly-segmented HPGe detectors 75 [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52].…”

“…The performance of the Advanced GAmma-ray Tracking Array (AGATA) detectors with in-beam tests were discussed in ref [33][34][35][36]. These studies, however, were limited to gamma-rays up to 4 MeV.…”
