Abstract :
Characterization of the electrical response of the HPGe segmented detectors is one of the current goals for the Nuclear Physics community in order to perform γ-ray tracking or even imaging with these detectors. For this purpose, scanning devices have to be developed to achieve the signal-position association with the highest precision. In our laboratory, a new scanning system, SALSA, acronym of SAlamanca Lyso-based Scanning Array, consisting on a high spatial resolution γ camera is under development. In this work the SALSA system is presented and the results for the characterization of the γ camera are shown.
