Abstract
The performance of the novel HPGe-Cluster array DEGAS to be used at FAIR has been studied through GEANT4 simulations using accurate geometries of most of the detector components. The simulation framework has been tested by comparing experimental data of various detector setups. The study showed that the DEGAS system could provide a clear improvement of the photo-peak efficiency compared to the previous RISING array. In addition, the active BGO Back-catcher could greatly enhance the background suppression capability. The add-back analysis revealed that even at a γ multiplicity of six the sensitivity is improved by adding back the energy depositions of the neighboring Ge crystals.
