Times Cited Count:23 Percentile:82.76(Instruments & Instrumentation)We have developed a new Si/CdTe semiconductor double-sided strip detector (DSD) Compton camera. The camera consists of a 500-m-thick Si-DSD and four layers of 750-
m-thick CdTe-DSDs all of which have common electrode configuration segmented into 128 strips on each side with pitches of 250
m. In order to realize high angular resolution and to reduce size of the detector system, a stack of DSDs with short stack pitches of 4 mm is utilized to make the camera. Taking advantage of the excellent energy and position resolutions of the semiconductor devices, the camera achieves high angular resolutions of 4.5 degrees at 356 keV and 3.5 degrees at 662 keV. To obtain such high resolutions together with an acceptable detection efficiency, we demonstrate data reduction methods including energy calibration using Compton scattering continuum and depth sensing in the CdTe-DSD. We also discuss imaging capability of the camera and show simultaneous multi-energy imaging.

Times Cited Count:24 Percentile:98.49(Physics, Applied)By using new Compton camera consisting of silicon double-sided strip detector (Si-DSD) and CdTe-DSD developed for the ASTRO-H mission, an experiment was conducted to study its feasibility for advanced hotspot monitoring. In addition to hotspot imaging already provided by commercial imaging systems, the identification of the variety of radioisotopes is realized thanks to the good energy resolution given by the semiconductor detectors. Three radioisotopes of Ba (356 keV),
Na (511 keV) and
Cs (662 keV) were individually imaged by applying event selection in the energy window and the
-ray images was correctly overlapped by an optical picture. The detection efficiency of 1.68
10
(effective area: 1.7
10
cm
) and angular resolution of 3.8
were obtained by stacking five detector modules for 662 keV
-ray. The higher detection efficiency required in a specific use can be achieved by stacking more detector modules.
