A Bayesian approach to free-moving radiation mapping with a single detector
Large-area radiation imaging is crucial in enhancing nuclear safety and security. Traditional mapping methods involve stationary gamma-ray detectors or imagers and necessitate multiple time-consuming static measurements at various locations.

Lei Pan received the 2023 Best Paper Award titled, “Performance of Perovskite CsPbBr3 Single Crystal Detector for Gamma-Ray Detection”.
Room temperature gamma ray detectors are the cornerstone of many radiation detection and imaging systems in various fields, such as medical imaging, nuclear security, scientific research and so on. Compared to scintillators, the semiconductor gamma ray detector has the advantage of intrinsically high energy and spatial resolution. However, after decades’ research and development of various candidate semiconductors, CdZnTe is the only commercial semiconductor gamma ray detector.
