ABSTRACT:
A high spatial resolution gamma ray detector employs layers of scintillators, microchannel photomultipliers and sensors arrays of anodes to provide real time imaging of nuclear sources. Specific embodiments include a camera for detecting nuclear weapons within opaque containers and a device for discriminating exoatmospheric reentry vehicles from decoys.
