Description
A gamma-ray energy tracking array (GRETA) is a new concept for the detection of gamma radiation. In such an array, the individual interactions of all the gamma rays are identified by their energies and positions. Then, using tracking algorithms based on the properties of gamma ray interactions, the scattering sequences are reconstructed. GRETA will give high peak efficiency, peak-to-background ratio, and position resolution. Recent research and development efforts have demonstrated that the construction of a gamma ray tracking array is feasible, and a plan for constructing a US array GRETINA is in place
