Background rejection capabilities of a Compton imaging telescope setup with a DSSD Ge planar detector and AGATA

Abstract

In this work, we show the first Monte Carlo results about the performance of the Ge array which we propose for the DESPEC experiment at FAIR , when the background algorithm developed for AGATA is applied. The main objective of our study is to characterize the capabilities of the γ -spectroscopy system, made up of AGATA detectors in a semi-spherical distribution covering a 1 π solid angle and a set of planar Ge detectors in a daisy configuration, to discriminate between γ sources placed at different locations.
