  7. A Compton imaging event is defined as one that has at least one signal in at least one scatterer crystal and one absorber crystal, with a summed energy approximately equal to the source energy Classification is done looking at the reconstructed hits Define a RecHitBuilder that builds hits for each crystal and defines the position as the centre of the pixel Count % of Compton imaging events How many are true single single events?

  18. Compton imaging is done on 2 detector events, so when there are multiple interactions within a detector event it is necessary to identify the position and energy of the interaction of interest, to reduce to one interaction in each detector This can be achieved via “Identifying Compton Interactions” using various algorithms It may be appropriate to use the interaction energy, position or separations to identify the 1st interaction.
