1 Compton Camera David Scraggs

2 Code Aims Use two detectors in Compton scattering experiment Define cones from Compton interactions; cone surfaces define possible source locations Use intersecting cones to constrict source location Locate radiation sources in 3D space Differentiate between multiple nuclides Find best data analysis methods

3 Compton Scattering Arthur Holly Compton gets Nobel in 1927 for: In which theta is a function of scattered photon energy Determination of photon energies defines a cone on which the source must lie

4 Equation of a Cone Define an arbitrary cone in space A cone is a quadratic surface In Cartesian coordinates the implicit equation is given by; Where the c squared term is the cosine squared of the opening angle

5 General Cone After a great deal of fighting with matlab

6 Rotate Cones Euler rotation matrix defined as

7 Define Specific Cone Opening angle calculation relies upon experimental results from both detectors

8 Merge Cones and Detectors

9 Define Interaction in Space

10 Simple Back Projection with Multiple Cones Z = 43 plane

11 Simple Back Projection with Multiple Cones Z = 107 plane

12 Simple Back Projection with Multiple Cones Z = 400 plane
