A Compton imager design for the detection of Special Nuclear Material (SNM), with specific focus on shielded Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) is presented. It is based on a large field-of-view Compton gamma-ray imager that uses 24 layers of 2 mm thick,

We have been developing a multi-layer Compton Gamma Ray Imager using position-sensitive, intrinsic silicon detectors. Advantages of this approach include room temperature operation, reduced Doppler broadening, and use of conventional silicon fabricat

The construction of a prototype Compton imager at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is nearly complete. The instrument is an 8-layer stacked silicon detector and is based on the “3-Compton” energy reconstruction technique. The silicon detectors

Direct wafer bonding of multiple wafers has been performed to demonstrate the utility of thick high resistivity float zone Si substrates for high voltage power devices and radiation detectors such as for X-ray and gamma-ray applications. Low-temperat

We describe the development and tests of the prototype for a new telescope for Medium Energy Gamma-ray Astronomy (MEGA) in the energy band 0.4–50 MeV. As a successor to COMPTEL and EGRET (at low energies), MEGA aims to improve the sensitivity for a

We present results obtained with double-sided, thick (2 mm) silicon strip detectors used as a Compton imager. Reconstructed images and spectra from /sup 137/Cs and /sup 60/Co gamma-ray sources have been produced at room temperature using the multiple

The development of high-resolution, position-sensitive solid-state detectors enables γ-ray instruments with improved sensitivity and imaging capabilities. For γ-ray astronomy, an improvement in sensitivity of 20–50 over previous missions is antic

Although remarkable progress has been made in gamma ray astrophysics recently (witness the recent advances in understanding gamma ray bursts) many of the early scientific objectives remain unfulfilled. This is due primarily to the rather modest impro

Compton telescopes using two germanium strip detectors with depth resolution have been demonstrated at the Naval Research Lab. Depth resolution allows interactions to be located to less than 1 mm, down from 1 cm with no depth resolution, which improv

The ability to measure the interaction depth of a gamma ray in a planar germanium strip detector has been demonstrated using various Constant Fraction Discriminators (CFD) and leading edge discriminators. Thick detectors can then be used in Compton t
