Simulation studies of CZT Detectors as Gamma-Ray Calorimeter
Several astrophysics and nuclear physics applications require the detection of photons in the energy range of keV up to several MeV with good position and energy resolution. For certain applications Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors might be the detector option of choice. Up to now, CZT detectors have mainly been used in the energy range between a few keV and ∼1 MeV. They operate at room t...
متن کاملThick CZT Detectors for Space-Borne X-ray Astronomy
Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors are having a major impact on the field of hard X-ray astronomy. Without the need for cryogenic cooling they achieve good spatial and energy resolutions over the broad energy range from 10 keV to ∼600 keV. In this paper, we briefly review the historical development of detectors used in Xray astronomy. Subsequently, we present an evaluation of CZT detectors ...
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 کاملCZT imaging detectors for ProtoEXIST
We describe the detector development for a balloon-borne wide-field hard X-ray (20 – 600 keV) telescope, ProtoEXIST. ProtoEXIST is a pathfinder for both technology and science of the proposed implementation of the Black Hole Finder Probe, Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey telescope (EXIST). The principal technology challenge is the development of large area, close-tiled modules of imaging CZT dete...
متن کاملGamma Ray Astronomy with Underground Detectors
Underground detectors measure the directions of up-coming muons of neutrino origin. They can also observe down-going muons made by gamma rays in the Earth’s atmosphere. Although gamma ray showers are muon-poor, they produce a sufficient number of muons to detect the sources observed by GeV and TeV telescopes. With a threshold higher by one hundred and a probability of muon production of about 1...
