Directional Unfolded Source Term (DUST) for Compton Cameras

Mitchell, Dean J.; Mitchell, Dean J.; Horne, Steven M.; O'Brien, Sean O.; Thoreson, Gregory G.

A Directional Unfolded Source Term (DUST) algorithm was developed to enable improved spectral analysis capabilities using data collected by Compton cameras. Achieving this objective required modification of the detector response function in the Gamma Detector Response and Analysis Software (GADRAS). Experimental data that were collected in support of this work include measurements of calibration sources at a range of separation distances and cylindrical depleted uranium castings.
