So how do we ‘see’ all of this happening? What kind of detector do we need?

When my advisor was a student…
Bell bottoms were cool…
The Beetles first appeared on stage…
…and nuclear physicists used Sodium Iodide (NaI) Detectors…

High Density = Great Efficiency
Poor Energy Resolution from detection system

While I was busy watching Transformers…
Nuclear physicists developed Germanium (Ge) Crystal Detectors…

Low Density = Low Efficiency
Great Energy Resolution from detection system

Low Density = Low Efficiency
Great Energy Resolution from detection system
Can we have the best of both?
High efficiency
and
good resolution?

Mission:Utilize the Clover Detector as an array rather
than four single detectors to give the researcher the best data possible
Solution:Integrate the Clover Detector into the necessary electronics and create a
computer program to utilize the ADDBACK Method

Define an event
Step 1:
Event 1
Each event corresponds to a single gamma ray interacting with the detector.
One Gamma ray = One Event = One Coincidence Window
