Résumé

In the framework of a national funded program for nuclear safety, a first prototype of portable gamma camera was built and tested. It integrates a Caliste-HD CdTe-hybrid detector designed for space X-ray astronomy coupled with a new system-on-chip based acquisition system (FPGA and ARM microprocessor) and thermo-electrical coolers for a use at room temperature. The complete gamma part of the camera fits in a volume of for a mass lower than 1 kg and a power consumption lower than 10 W. Localization and spectro-identification of radionuclides in a contaminated scene were demonstrated during several test campaigns. A new generation of system is under development taking into account feedback experience from in-situ measurements and integrating a new generation of sensor cost-optimized by industrial applications called Caliste-O. Caliste-O holds a 16x16 pixel detector of 14x14 mm2 and 2 mm thick with 8 full-custom front-end IDeF-X HD ASICs. Two prototypes were fabricated and tested. The paper will present the results of in-situ measurements with the first gamma camera, the spectroscopic performance of Caliste-O and the design of the second generation of gamma camera which aims for real time imaging and spectro-identification.
