EGS 4 CALCULATIONS FOR A Cd - Zn - Te DETECTOR TO MEASURE SYNCHROTRONRADIATION AT PEP - II ?
نویسنده
چکیده
Calculations have been performed with the EGS4 Code System for a CdZnTe semiconductor detector to be used in background studies of synchrotron radiation at PEP-II. The simulations take into account K-shell uorescent-photon production in a CdZnTe mixture, electron-hole pair collection and electronic-noise broadening. The results are compared with measurements made with encapsulated Am, Ba and Cd sources. ? Submitted for presentation at the First International Workshop on EGS4 to be held at KEK, Tsukuba, Japan (26-29 August 1997). y Work supported in part by the Department of Energy contract DE-AC03-76SF00515

Egs 4 Calculations for a Pep - Ii Luminositymonitor ?
The Asymmetric B-Factory currently being built at SLAC consists of a 9 GeV electron storage ring and a 3 GeV positron storage ring, known as PEP-II, and a large detector called BaBar. Because the commissioning of PEP-II starts approximately one year ahead of the installation of BaBar, it is desirable to have a dedicated system in place beforehand for measuring and optimizing the luminosity of t...
متن کاملPrototype Imaging Cd - Zn - Te Array Detector
We describe initial results of our program to develop and test Cd-Zn-Te (CZT) detectors with a pixellated array readout. Our primary interest is in the development of relatively thick CZT detectors for use in astrophysical coded aperture telescopes with response extending over the energy range ∼ 10 − 600 keV. The coded aperture imaging configuration requires only relatively large area pixels (1...
متن کاملZn(ii), Cd(ii) and Pb(ii) complexation with pyridinecarboxylate containing ligands.
Herein, we report the coordination properties towards Zn(ii), Cd(ii) and Pb(ii) of two hexadentate ligands containing pyridinecarboxylate groups with ethane-1,2-diamine (bcpe) or cyclohexane-1,2-diamine (bcpc) backbones. The X-ray crystal structures of [Zn(bcpe)], [Cd(bcpe)] and [Cd(bcpc)] show hexadentate binding of the ligand to the metal ions, with the coordination polyhedron being best desc...
متن کاملOptimization of growth conditions of type-II Zn(Cd)Te/ZnCdSe submonolayer quantum dot superlattices for intermediate band solar cells
Intermediate band solar cells (IBSCs) have been predicted to be significantly more efficient than the conventional solar cells, but have not been realized to their full potential due to the difficulties related to the fabrication of practical devices. The authors report here on growth and characterization of Zn(Cd)Te/ZnCdSe submonolayer quantum dot (QD) superlattices (SLs), grown by migration e...
متن کاملPixellated Cd(Zn)Te high-energy X-ray instrument.
We have developed a pixellated high energy X-ray detector instrument to be used in a variety of imaging applications. The instrument consists of either a Cadmium Zinc Telluride or Cadmium Telluride (Cd(Zn)Te) detector bump-bonded to a large area ASIC and packaged with a high performance data acquisition system. The 80 by 80 pixels each of 250 μm by 250 μm give better than 1 keV FWHM energy reso...
