Description

We present the results of the detailed simulation of the response of a HgI2 crystal in terms of efficiency, energy and space resolutions versus photon energy in the diagnostic energy range 20-100 keV. Some configurations of CdTe crystals for positron emission tomography are also evaluated. (orig.)
