Abstract
A radiation detection, localization, and identification system uses a searching algorithm to identify geometric correlation of hypothetical solutions to Compton Imaging. Geometric correlation of correct associations of gamma ray energies with each detected event yields the identity and location of radiation sources. The system's detector is an array of radiation detectors networked to act as a single detection system. This network has wide area of view and high sensitivity to radiation sources since no collimation is required.
