Technology Description

The technology is advanced signal decomposition software based upon the Singular Value Decomposition algorithm applied to the highly segmented germanium (Ge) crystal gamma-ray detectors used in the GRETINA project…. The detector consists of a germanium crystal that has 36 separately biased segments. When a gamma-ray enters the crystal it scatters electrons in some of the crystal segments creating a current wave-form in each segment. The software will solve the inverse problem of determining the gamma ray trajectory from the segment current waveforms.
Value Proposition

The GRETINA experiment will generate such large amounts of data that storage of the raw data is impractical, so the signal decomposition must be done as the experiment is running (i.e. in real time). The technology is to develop new processing algorithms based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) that are efficient enough to process large amounts of data in real time so as to keep up with a large rate of data production. Existing processing algorithms, i.e., AGS, are so computationally intensive that they cannot keep up with the rate of data production for more than 2 interactions.
