摘要
We present a new concept for gamma-ray detector arrays. An example, called GRETA (Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array), consists of highly segmented HPGe detectors covering 4 pi solid angle. The new feature is the ability to track the scattering sequence of incident gamma-rays and in every event, this potentially allows one to measure with high resolution the energy deposited, the location (incident angle) and the time of each gamma-ray that hits the array. GRETA will be of order of 1000 times more powerful than the best present arrays, such as Gammasphere or Euroball, and will provide access to new physics. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
