First results of the High Efficiency Multi-mode Imager (HEMI)

The High Efficiency Multi-mode Imager (HEMI) is a combined Compton and coded mask imager designed to detect and image gamma rays from ~30 keV up to a few MeV. It consists of 1-cm3-size coplanar-grid CdZnTe detectors with an energy resolution of ~2 % FWHM at 662 keV. We present the simulation and data analysis pipeline for HEMI as well as first results from measurements with an eight-detector test setup in Compton mode (spectra, angular resolution, and reconstructed images) and comparisons with simulations.
