Outline of Final Research Achievements

We develop a small, light-weigh and low-price gamma ray detector which is sensible to source directions. The detector consists of a 3-cm cubic lead block with its all faces having GAGG:Ce scintillators, and calculate the source directions from a combination of count rates of the scintilators. We established the designed accuracy of 22.5 degree. We also develop a data acquisition system and analysis softwares on a card-type PC, Raspberry Pi, and performed a demonstration outside. For further convenience, we apply a 4-channel ADC board and optimize a detector structure. Finally we develop an application running on a smart phone to operate and monitor the whole system.
