Segmented structure distinguishes gamma rays of cosmic origin from internal radioactivity. Preamplifier and discriminator channel connects each electrically independent segment of gamma-ray detector to logic circuitry. Logic compares and analyzes events in segments to determine sources. According to Monte Carlo calculations, sensitivity of detector two to three times better than conventional detectors because background interactions discerned and eliminated.
