Monte Carlo study of a high-sensitivity gamma-ray detection system

The authors use Monte Carlo calculations to study a new design for a high-sensitivity gamma-ray detection system. The system uses an array of high-purity germanium detectors operating with an event-mode data acquisition system. The calculations show that the proposed design could produce a factor of 10 increase in the sensitivity of these measurements compared to currently employed systems

Preliminary A{ampersand}PCT multiple detector design

The next generation, multi-detector active and passive computed tomography (A&PCT) scanner will be optimized for speed and accuracy. At the Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL) we have demonstrated the trade-offs between different A&PCT design parameters that affect the speed and quality of the assay results. These fundamental parameters govern the optimum system design. Although the multi-detector scanner design has priority put on speed to increase waste drum throughput, higher speed should not compromise assay accuracy. One way to increase the speed of the A&PCT technology is to use multiple detectors. This yields a linear speedup by a factor approximately equal to the number of detectors used without a compromise in system accuracy. There are many different design scenarios that can be developed using multiple detectors. Here we describe four different scenarios and discuss the trade-offs between them. Also, some considerations are given in this design description for the implementation of a multiple detector technology in a field- deployable mobile trailer system
