“…It was assumed that both detectors had a resolution of 1 mm in landscape and 1 mm in the depth direction. The CZT detectors’ energy resolution, δ CZT (FWHM) is obtained by 17 :where E is the deposited energy, σ E is the standard deviation of spectral peak. For this study, both diploid events and triple events were recorded.…”

“…The a and b parameters used in our simulation are −0.2892 and 0.4332, respectively. Both the parameters Referred to CZT pixel array detectors produced by IMDETEK Corporation Ltd, whose energy resolution is 5.13% for 241 Am (59.5 keV) and 1.64% for 137 Cs (662 keV) 17 . We performed an energy cut to only detect PGs with a total energy (determined using the Compton energy formulas 2,16 in the range above 1 MeV to reject 511 keV annihilation gammas and most of background radiation.…”

“…One of these applications is the production of gamma laser by the Compton Inversion method, which can be used in radiography of thick steel [2][3][4][5]. The Compton scattered photons can also be used for imaging purposes [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], i.e., for inspection of vehicles or passengers at the airports [13]. This scattering mechanism has also been employed in the production of gamma-gamma well logging systems in oil exploration [14][15][16][17] and for determination of materials thickness or corrosion [18,19].…”

“…On the other hand, the γ-rays that interact first in the absorber via Compton scattering and scattered photons that subsequently interact in the scatter layer via the photoelectric effect are called backward-scattering events (BSE). In order to achieve the best possible image, BSE should not be considered in the image reconstruction as far as possible because BSE contributes to degradation of the image (Xiaofeng et al, 2017). This requirement is achieved by applying an energy threshold in the deposited energy in scatter detectors.…”
