Gammasphere detectors give data back through specific signals. The main signals are called GeCenter, GeSides, BGOSum, and now, after upgrades, BGOPatterns. These signals are defined by the way gamma-rays hit different parts of the HPGe inside a detector. The different points where the HPGe can be hit are called "contact points".
GeCenter
The germanium inside each detector is a cylindrical shape with a hole through its center. It becomes a contact point known as the "GeCenter".
