Abstract
This paper describes a directional gamma-ray detector with different types of scintillators. The detector, which positively increases directional sensitivity to incident gamma rays, has been developed to measure energy and a direction of gamma rays, and to search radiation sources such as radioisotopes. Experimental results have shown that this detector has a potential for practical use in real fields.
