A test-beam experiment has been performed to measure this parameter in realistic experimental conditions

Simulations suggest that the overall performance

depends on the attainable position resolution

The position resolution required for the AGATA detectors

Why Compton imaging?

15 days of beam-time to perform the test experiment

1 year of analysis PSA will be on-line

Need for a simpler procedure Need an prompt feed-back

from on-line analysis

CONCLUSIONS

Position resolution extracted by in-beam experiment and Compton imaging is 5 mm FWHM.

This value is in line with the design assumptions of the AGATA spectrometer, confirming the feasibility of -ray tracking.

AGATA will have a huge impact on nuclear structure studies (first phase of AGATA: LNL 2009…)

Possible applications of -ray tracking detectors to imaging.
