摘要
We are beginning development of a Transition Edge Sensor (TES) based gamma-ray detector for use in Coincidence-Doppler-Broadening (CDB) Positron-Annihilation-Spectroscopy (PAS) studies. We are specifically motivated to asses and study damage to nuclear Reactor Pressure Vessels (RPVs) which results from neutron irradiation during reactor operation. In this paper we provide a brief introduction to CDB-PAS and discuss our detector design.
