Obtaining high-resolution gamma-ray measurements using hyperpure germanium detectors in the field has been of limited practicality due to the need to use and maintain a supply of liquid nitrogen. This same constraint limits high-resolution gamma measurements in unattended safeguards or treaty verification applications. We are developing detectors and software to greatly extend the applicability of high-resolution germanium-based measurements for these situations. This paper is a description of efforts at Lawrence Livermore in the area.
