Homeland security applications demand high performance Compton-camera systems, with high detector efficiency, good nuclide identification and able to operate in-field conditions. A low-Z scintillator has been proposed and studied as a promising candidate for use in the scattering plane of a scintillator-based Compton camera: CaF2(Eu). All the relevant properties for the application of this scintillator...
Compton cameras are of general interest in various fields of operation. Because of the ability to locate and identify remote sources, homeland security supports the development of such devices in a rugged and reliable form. The decisions upon appropriate materials for the scatter- and absorber plane depend on performance and economical trade-offs. In order to estimate the expected performance of the...
The concept of a two-plane planar Compton camera, consisting of scintillation detector elements, is presented. Several materials as C9H10, CaF2, YAlO3, NaI, and LaBr3 are considered for operation in the scatter and/or absorption plane. The performance of the Compton camera is optimized by means of Monte Carlo simulations to meet the requirements for Homeland Security applications. For a low-threshold...
