Compton Camera David Scraggs
2
Code Aims Use two detectors in Compton scattering experiment Define cones from Compton interactions; cone surfaces define possible source locations Use intersecting cones to constrict source location Locate radiation sources in 3D space Differentiate between multiple nuclides Find best data analysis methods
3
Compton Scattering Arthur Holly Compton gets Nobel in 1927 for: In which theta is a function of scattered photon energy Determination of photon energies defines a cone on which the source must lie
4
Equation of a Cone Define an arbitrary cone in space A cone is a quadratic surface In Cartesian coordinates the implicit equation is given by; Where the c squared term is the cosine squared of the opening angle
5
General Cone After a great deal of fighting with matlab
6
Rotate Cones Euler rotation matrix defined as
7
Define Specific Cone Opening angle calculation relies upon experimental results from both detectors
8
Merge Cones and Detectors
9
Define Interaction in Space
