【 摘 要 】

A new concept in gamma radiation detection utilizing highly segmented position-sensitive germanium detectors is currently being developed. Through pulse-shape analysis these detectors will provide the three-dimensional position and energy of individual gamma ray interactions and allow the full-energy and direction vectors of the incident radiation to be reconstructed in a process termed tracking. Here, a prototype segmented detector has been utilized in the assessment of theoretically modeled pulse shapes to gain insight into the factors that effect their agreement with those experimentally measured.
