“…A segmentation method requiring fewer channels of pulse-processing electronics is the orthogonal-strip geometry shown in Figure 3 [13][14][15]. In this method, both electrodes are segmented into strips such that the strips on one detector side are orthogonal to the strips on the opposing detector surface.…”

“…The ability to measure the position of γ-ray interactions has many advantages in the detection of γ-rays, for example, for γ-ray tracking and associated γ-ray imaging. Position-sensitive γ-ray detection with Ge detectors was originally realized for nuclear medicine applications by employing arrays of small Ge detectors (65)(66)(67). As a more efficient and more practical approach, the segmentation of monolithic Ge detectors was introduced (54,55,68,69).…”

Although developed and first demonstrated more than 40 years ago, germanium detectors still represent the gold standard in detecting γ radiation for energies ranging from approximately 100 keV to 10 MeV. The combination of high-efficiency and excellent energy resolution and many recent technological developments have significantly increased the range of applications for Ge detectors. We review the state of the art in the fabrication and operation of Ge detectors by mapping recent developments in Ge detector technologies to a range of applications. These include research in nuclear physics, fundamental physics, and astrophysics, as well as applications in medical imaging and homeland security. Ge detector technologies will remain vitally important for applied and basic research instruments for high-sensitivity γ-ray detection in the future.
