Invited Talk
High-resolution gamma-ray detectors based on high-purity germanium (HPGe) are one
of the key workhorses of experimental nuclear science.The technical developments of
such detectors have been dramatic in recent years, from the emergence of large-
volume high-granularity electrically segmented HPGe detectors to position
sensitivity using pulse-shape analysis and the novel technique of...

A micropattern gaseous detector has been designed for the CERN Axion
Search experiment CAST, based on the Micromegas technology. The
twodimensional readout, with XY strip structure, allows for
sufficient spatial sensitivity and the low natural radioactivity
materials used for its construction meet the experiment demands for
low background. The detector is operated with an...

In the last few years several groups and companies tried to develop
mammographic scanners based on GaAs, Si solid -state detectors or
high -pressure Xe gaseous detectors [1-3]. The main advantages of
the scanner system are the simplicity of the design (1D detector)
and the readout electronics and hence a low cost.
We have developed and successfully tested an innovative approach in...

The TRIUMF-ISAC Gamma-Ray Escape-Suppressed Spectrometer (TIGRESS)
is a new gamma-ray detector array being developed in order to take
advantage of the radioactive ion beams to be delivered by the new
ISAC-II facility at TRIUMPH. When complete, TIGRESS will consist of
twelve large-volume 32-fold segmented HPGe clover detectors, fitted
with 20-fold segmented Compton-suppression...

Large area imaging spectrometer with good energy resolution based
on double-sided Si strip detector (DSSD) is a key technology for a
new generation of Gamma-ray astronomy. It is well suited as the
scatterer detector of semiconductor Compton telescopes (SCTs)
working at sub-MeV to MeV band. High energy resolution is of
particular importance because it ensures better angular resolution...
