Radial position sensing in a coplanar-grid high-pressure xenon gamma-ray spectrometer

This paper describes a technique for determining the interaction radius of a gamma ray within a cylindrical detector. This can be useful information for correcting pulse amplitudes and selecting events of interest. A theoretical expression for the event radius is derived based on anode signals, and...

Description
Summary:	This paper describes a technique for determining the interaction radius of a gamma ray within a cylindrical detector. This can be useful information for correcting pulse amplitudes and selecting events of interest. A theoretical expression for the event radius is derived based on anode signals, and simulations are compared with experimental results.
