摘要
By using a new Compton camera consisting of a silicon double-sided strip detector (Si-DSD) and a CdTe double-sided strip detector (CdTe-DSD), originally developed for the ASTRO-H satellite mission, an experiment involving imaging radioisotopes was conducted to study their feasibility for hotspot monitoring. In addition to the hotspot imaging already provided by commercial imaging systems, identification of various radioisotopes is possible thanks to the good energy resolution obtained by the semiconductor detectors. Three radioisotopes of Ba-133 (356 keV), Na-22 (511 keV) and Cs-137 (662 keV) were individually imaged by applying event selection in the energy window and the gamma-ray images were correctly overlapped by an optical picture. Detection efficiency of 1.68 x10(-4) (effective area : 1.7 x10(-3) cm(2)) and angular resolution of 3.8 degrees were obtained by stacking five detector modules for a 662 keV gamma ray. The higher detection efficiency required in specific use can be achieved by stacking more detector modules. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier B.V.
