Abstract
The Compact Compton Imager CCI-2 is a gamma-ray imaging system that can be used as both a Compton Camera and Coded Aperture. We present measurement results obtained with this system that demonstrate its capability for stand-off 3D gamma-ray imaging. A future system developed on the imaging approach presented here can potentially increase the sensitivity and automation level for inspection and monitoring of plants processing nuclear materials.
