HIGH-ENERGY RADIATION VISUALIZER (HERV) - A NEW SYSTEM FOR IMAGING INX-RAY AND GAMMA-RAY EMISSION REGIONS

We present a description and results of the operation for gamma-ray an d X-ray objects for the compact visualization system high-energy radia tion visualizer (HERV), The imaging in this system is based on use of a conical collimator, scintillator plate, and image intensifier as a d etector and CCD matrix as a readout device, The use of HERV as a two-d imensional X-ray image visualizer for the Compton scatter inspection s ystem was considered and first results are discussed, The possibility of using different hexagonal-coded apertures imaging for HERV is discu ssed and results of Monte Carlo simulation and experiments with optica l analog of coded aperture are presented.
