Description
The PorGamRays project has developed a portable gamma-ray spectrometer with imaging capabilities. This detector has applications within the medical, security and nuclear decommissioning fields. The current PorGamRays detector utilises the Compton camera principle with two CZT crystals and adapted ASIC readouts. The next phase of the project, PGRIS, will utilise newly developed ASICS that will increase energy range which can be imaged. These ASICs will be implemented along with new CZT detector modules. Real-time Compton imaging capability is also under development. This presentation will summarise the results of testing and characterisation of this Compton camera setup as well as the development of real time imaging with the portable Compton camera system.
