  3. Advantages of g-ray tracking • Efficiency – Proper reconstruction of scattered gamma rays, no solid angle used for Anti-Compton shield • Peak-to-background – Reject Partially absorved events • Doppler correction - Position of first interaction determined • Polarization – Angular distribution of the scattering sequence • Counting rate – high segmentation and digital pile-up treatment Compton Suppresion Gamma Tracking

The data are merged through the clock Tag or event number Tag. • Nevertheless fully Digital electronics is fundamental to gain from the full capabilities of the AGATA system regarding the almost full pipelined Electronics and DAQ and the high rate capabilities.
