Abstract
In order to increase the contrast and to improve the imaging capabilities of a Gamma-ray Backscattering device some changes are proposed with the aim of achieving a reduction of the intrinsic noise of the device. Simulated results suggest that the shielding system proposed, in addition to the use of a 68 Ge -γ ray source, produce a considerable reduction of the intrinsic noise of the device.
