Scientific paper

At the Space Sciences Laboratory, U. C. Berkeley, we are beginning a study of advanced instrument designs for planetary gamma-ray spectroscopy. This includes coincidence-mode spectrometers and neutron-activation spectrometers for landers, and a Compton telescope for detecting composition from high orbits or during flybys, where a simple spectrometer would be too insensitive. Detector technologies to be evaluated include germanium strip detectors, mercuric iodide detectors, and coplanar-grid CdZnTe detectors.
