Coded-Aperture Compton Camera for Gamma-Ray Imaging

Coded-Aperture Compton Camera for Gamma-Ray Imaging

Show other versions (1)

A novel gamma-ray imaging system is demonstrated, by means of Monte Carlo simulation. Previous designs have used either a coded aperture or Compton scattering system to image a gamma-ray source. By taking advantage of characteristics of each of these systems a new design can be implemented that does...
