    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Eleni Athanasiou; [2019]
    Keywords : space instrumentation; gamma-ray instrumentation; MeVCube; space environment effects; orbital background noise; detector characteristics; signal generation; weighting potential simulations; electric field simulations;

    Abstract : A space camera is a promising candidate to address the non-stop rising interest for astrophysics research in the Compton regime. The MeVCube mission is intended to be launched in 2022, hosting an on-board Compton Camera. READ MORE

  3. 2. Compton Imaging with Scintillators in a Virtual Geant4 Space

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Tim Almqvist; [2015]
    Keywords : Compton scattering; compton imaging; gamma imaging; imaging; scintillator; scintillators; scintillator detectors; gamma camera; Compton camera; Geant4; simulation; simulations; detector simulations; Monte-Carlo; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this study the Geant4 toolkit has been used to perform Monte Carlo simulations of relatively inexpensive, inorganic, scintillator-based detectors. Full simulations of the optical photons produced via the scintillation process have been done in order to achieve realistic responses from the attached electro-optical sensors. READ MORE
