Calculated Gamma Ray Response Characteristics
A Monte Carlo computer program has been used to calculate characteristics of the response of fully depleted silicon and germanium radiation detectors to monoenergetic gamma rays. Data for total absorption probability, intrinsic efficiency, escape peak efficiency and pulse height spectra are presented as functions of detector thickness and photon energy. Other parameters of interest in analysing...
متن کاملCharge transport in arrays of semiconductor gamma-ray detectors.
We analyze the effects of electrode size on performance of arrays of semiconductor gamma-ray detectors, especially when there is significant charge trapping. With large electrodes, motions of holes and electrons are of equal importance, but when the positive electrode is segmented into an array of small elements the contributions of holes to the output, and hence the effects of hole trapping, a...
متن کاملScanner for gamma-ray detectors
The core principle of segmented detectors like AGATA [1], GRETA [2], that will be used in future for 4π gamma detection arrays, is the application of the concept of pulse shape analysis (PSA). The key ingredient for this analysis is a data base containing pulses for all the interaction points inside the segmented detector. A full 3D scanning of the detectors, which experimentally determines pul...
متن کاملReview of the Shockley–Ramo theorem and its application in semiconductor gamma-ray detectors
The Shockley–Ramo theorem is reviewed based on the conservation of energy. This review shows how the energy is transferred from the bias supplies to the moving charge within a device. In addition, the discussion extends the original theorem to include cases in which a constant magnetic field is present, as well as when the device medium is heterogeneous. The rapid development of single polarity...
متن کاملA Method to Improve Spectral Resolution in Planar Semiconductor Gamma-Ray Detectors DISCLAIMER
This paper describes an empirically derived algorithm to compensate for charge trapping in CdTe, CdZnTe, and other planar semiconductor detectors. The method is demonstrated to be an improvement over available systems and application to experimental data is shown.
