Abstract

The directional gamma ray detector has been designed, which combines triple scintillators, i.e. a NaI (Tl), a CSI (Tl) and a BGO scintillator with a photomultiplier tube, and positively increases directional sensitivity to incident gamma rays in the range from 0 to 360 degrees. It will be effective for searching radioactive materials or contaminations.
