POINT-SOURCE RESOLUTION PERFORMANCE OF A GERMANIUM COMPTON CAMERA

One of the critical performance parameters for a Compton Camera Imager (CCI) is the Point Source Location Accuracy (PSLA). This paper descri bes analysis of both experimental and simulated data to evaluate the p oint source resolving power of a germanium Compton Camera Imager. The experimental data are taken from a set of experiments performed in 199 3 at Naval Research Laboratory[1]. Subsequent design studies have util ized Monte Carlo simulations to predict the performance parameters for a number of detector geometries. Presented in this paper are the resu lts from one of those configurations.
