Understanding the operation of general composite detector for gamma-ray spectroscopy

We have presented a probabilistic formalism for predicting the response of the series and parallel combination of gamma-ray detectors arranged in the form of a matrix. Assuming isotropic scattering of incident gamma-rays and considering up to four detector hit events, we have obtained expressions fo...

Zusammenfassung:We have presented a probabilistic formalism for predicting the response of the series and parallel combination of gamma-ray detectors arranged in the form of a matrix. Assuming isotropic scattering of incident gamma-rays and considering up to four detector hit events, we have obtained expressions for the addback factor and the peak-to-total ratio (in the addback mode) in terms of only one probability. Using the experimental data of the HHS spectrometer, we have predicted the addback factor for four composite detectors. Predicted values of addback factor and fold distribution show a reasonable agreement with the experimental ones for the clover detector.
