Three-dimensional position sensitivity in two-dimensionally segmented HP-Ge detectors
Kai Vetter,A. Kuhn,M. A. Deleplanque,I. Y. Lee,F. S. Stephens,G.J. Schmid,D. Beckedahl,J.J. Blair,R. M. Clark,M. Cromaz,R. M. Diamond,P. Fallon,Gregory Lane,J.E. Kammeraad,A. O. Macchiavelli,C. E. Svensson +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a γ-ray energy tracking array (GRETA) to increase the efficiency in detecting γ radiation and also enable the localization and characterization of unknown γray sources with much higher accuracy than is possible with current instruments.
Gamma-ray Compton camera imaging with a segmented HPGe
TL;DR: In this paper, a γ-ray Compton camera out of a single coaxial High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector is proposed, where the imaging properties of the HPGe can be realized by way of a segmented outer contact and digital pulse shape analysis.

HPGe Compton suppression using pulse shape analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a new technique for High Purity Germanium (HPGe) Compton suppression using pulse shape analysis (PSA) is presented, which involves a complete unfolding of the charge pulse shape into discrete components associated with individual γ-ray interactions.
Spatial resolution attainable in germanium detectors by pulse shape analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the fundamental limits to the spatial resolution attainable with a segmented detector by analyzing the pulse shapes of the signals from the various segments and showed that one can construct complete systems, from detector through data analysis, that come near the theoretical limits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied and built prototypes of a new class of highly sensitive detectors which could significantly enhance the remote detection of hidden fissile materials, which would have broad applicability in national security applications including nuclear smuggling, arms control, treaty inspections, and safeguards.
