CdZnTe Gamma Ray Spectrometer for Orbital Gamma Ray Spectroscopy
We present the design and analysis of a new gamma ray spectrometer for planetary science that uses an array of CdZnTe detectors to achieve the detection efficiency needed for orbital measurements. The use of CdZnTe will provide significantly improved pulse height resolution relative to scintillation-based detectors, with commensurate improvement in the accuracy of elemental abundances determine...
متن کاملTransient Gamma-Ray Spectrometer
Visible afterglow counterparts have now been detected for two GRBs (970228 and 970508) but are absent, with Lopt/Lγ ratios at least two orders of magnitude lower, for other GRBs, e.g., 970828. The causes of this variation are unknown. Any correspondence which could be discovered between the γ-ray properties of a GRB and its Lopt/Lγ would be useful, both in determining the GRB mechanisms, and in...
متن کاملThe NEAR X-Ray/Gamma-Ray Spectrometer
he X-Ray/Gamma-Ray Spectrometer on the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will remotely sense X-ray and gamma-ray emissions from the surface of near-Earth asteroid 433 Eros and look for characteristic “signatures” in those emissions to determine its elemental composition. During the planned 10 months of orbits about Eros beginning in early 1999, data returned from the instrument w...
متن کامل3-D position sensitive CdZnTe gamma-ray spectrometers
Two 3-D position-sensitive room temperature semiconductor c-ray spectrometers have been built using 1 cm3 cubic CdZnTe crystals. The lateral coordinates of c-ray interaction are obtained from the location of the 11(x)]11(y) pixellated anodes and the depth (z) is obtained from the ratio of the signals coming from the cathode and the anode. Energy spectra from 662keV incident c-rays have been col...
متن کاملCharge Collection Characteristics of Frisch Collar CdZnTe Gamma Ray Spectrometers
A collimated Au source was used to determine the charge collection efficiency (CCE) at several locations along the length of a 3.4 x 3.4 x 5.5 mm CdZnTe bar detector both in planar configuration and with Frisch collars of varying length. For each configuration, a 0.50 mm long region spanning the width of the device was irradiated with 411 keV gamma rays produced by a neutron activated gold foil...
