11 The position resolution required for the AGATA detectors
Simulations suggest that the overall performance depends on the attainable position resolution A test-beam experiment has been performed to measure this parameter in realistic experimental conditions

12 Setup of the in-beam experiment

13 Doppler correction using PSA results

14 Doppler correction using PSA results

16 Simulation vs Experiment

17 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

24 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 g-ray tracking. AGATA will have a huge impact on nuclear structure studies (first phase of AGATA: LNL 2009…) Possible applications of g-ray tracking detectors to imaging.

29 Requirements to the next generation g-ray spectrometer
AGATA is the next generation g-ray spectrometer which will be used at radioactive ion beam facilities: High efficiency and P/T ratio. Capability to stand a high counting rate. Good position resolution on the individual g interactions in order to perform a good Doppler correction and measure the linear polarization
