Towards a deep characterization of a 64-fold-pixelated position sensitive detector for a new γ-scanning system of HPGe segmented detectors

Abstract

Characterization of the electrical response of the HPGe segmented detectors is one of the current goals for the Nuclear Physics community in order to perform γ-ray tracking or even imaging with these detectors. For this purpose, scanning devices have to be developed to achieve the signal-position association with the highest precision. In this laboratory, a new scanning system, SALSA (SAlamanca Lyso-based Scanning Array), consisting on a high spatial resolution γ camera, is a under development. In this work the whole scanning system is presented and first results for the characterization of the γ camera are shown.
