Purposes
• Study of photon interaction with energies from 100keV to 25MeV in CsI crystals using a simple geometry (energy response, multiplicity, efficiency ...).
• Study of the response with a 5*5 array of 22*22*200mm3 crystals.
• Tests of some position reconstruction algorithms and their pertinence by using simulated data.
• Comparison of 5*5 arrays of different crystal sizes: 11*11*200mm3, 22*22*200mm3, 32*32*200mm3
• Comparison of 5*5, 7*7 and 9*9 arrays made with 22*22*200mm3 crystals.
• Only pure physics interactions are considered here(neither threshold nor noise nor light collection effects are included).

Conclusions of part 1
• At energies higher than 5MeV, energy measurement error is between 5 and 25% for more than 30% of events . What happens by changing crystal dimensions ? Is this problem solved by increasing the size of the array ?
• Using simple geometry and primary event, 2 position reconstruction methods were tested: search of the crystal measuring maximal energy and Energy weighted position reconstruction. Both look promising. Position reconstruction seems to be better at very low (less than 500keV) and higher energy (higher than 10MeV). At intermediate energies, the Compton scattering affects the precision of the position reconstruction. Can it be improved ?

Position reconstruction efficiency (1)
Photon hit the center of central crystal. We use 3 tolerances:
•Reconstructed X and Y must be in the range of initial hit crystal (Energy Weighted methods). The crystal measuring the maximal energy must be the initial hit crystal(maximal method).
• Then by including the closest neighbours (cross configuration)
• Then by considering the 3*3 array of crystals centered on the hit crystal

Conclusions of part 2
The choice of the crystal dimension is a compromise between the angular resolution required and the necessity to have accurate energy and position reconstructions.
When Compton scattering is dominant, the energy spread in more crystals.If the crystal size is too small, this could affect the accuracy of positionreconstruction.
But to choose the crystal sizes, other important points like the light collection efficiency must be considered.

Conclusions of part 3
• Even with an 9*9 array of 22*22*200mm3 crystals, there are 30% of the events where error on energy measurement is between 5 to 25% for photon energy higher than 5MeV). The energy spread in the detector and for about 10% of the events @1MeV, non contiguous crystals configurations occur .
•Reconstruction position with maximum energy method or energy weighted crystals method is accurate:
• when hitting on the center of a crystal, in a range of a 3*3 array centered on this crystal• in a range of a 2*2 crystal array when hitting the corner of a crystal
This limitation is due to Compton scattering, which dominates between 300keV and 7MeV in CsI.

Sum up and conclusions
• We checked energy and multiplicity response of a 5*5 array of 22*22*200 crystals using the Low Energy Electromagnetic Interaction model provided by GEANT4.
•We tested position reconstruction methods: the maximum energy and energy weighted methods look promising, in both cases when a photon hit the center or the corner of a crystal.
• We studied 5*5 arrays made with different crystal sizes (11*11*200mm3, 22*22*200mm3, 32*32*200mm3). Energy spread and angular resolution are elements to consider before fixing the crystal sizes.
• We compared 5*5, 7*7 and 9*9 arrays of 22*22*200mm3 crystals. At energies where Compton scattering dominates, events (about 10% @1MeV) with non continuous crystals clusters occur, thus limiting the position reconstruction accuracy. At energies above 5MeV, even with a 9*9 array, more than 95% of incident energy is measured for only 70% of the events. For the remaining events, error on energy measurement is between 5 and 25%. But position reconstruction seems sufficiently accurate at these energies.

Perspectives
Only physics interactions were studied here. Some other important points must be considered:
• Light collection in crystals: simulations performed with LITRANI (see talk of B. Genolini) and validation with experimental measurements.
• Noise and threshold effects (electronics, APDs...) can be included in GEANT4 simulations.
• Implementation of a more complicated geometry (using trapezoid crystals).
• Check the consequences of energy and position reconstruction errors by going back in the center of mass frame.
• Find out other methods to reconstruct position (algorithms using crystals energy correlation ? Cluster finding algorithms ? ...)
• Improve the primary generator event, following physics requirements (see talk of F. Skaza)
