“…The open modular design of the system allows the use of the logger for other standard sensors such as spectroscopic or semi-spectroscopic gamma sensors (7) as well as for environmental sensors for air and ground humidity or temperature. The software, in general, can also be operated on a standard Linux laptop if needed.…”

“…Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride (CdZnTe) detectors, which have a large atomic number and wide energy bandgap (high detection efficiency), can directly convert X and gamma rays into electric charges at room temperature with stable chemical properties, showing therefore great potentialities in detecting aforementioned radiations for specific applications such as personal dosimeters, portable energy spectrometers, and nuclear medical imaging scanners. [5][6][7][8][9] In medical imaging-based positron emission tomography (PET) scanner, radiopharmaceuticals are used to create three-dimensional images. These radiopharmaceuticals are labeled with radioisotopes ( 11 C, 18 F, 15 O, or 13 N) with very short half-time (minutes to a few hours) that decay and emit positrons.…”

“…Therefore, deep characterization of material building detectors is needed for better understanding the detection systems. Cadmium‐Zinc‐Telluride (CdZnTe) detectors, which have a large atomic number and wide energy bandgap (high detection efficiency), can directly convert X and gamma rays into electric charges at room temperature with stable chemical properties, showing therefore great potentialities in detecting aforementioned radiations for specific applications such as personal dosimeters, portable energy spectrometers, and nuclear medical imaging scanners 5–9 …”

“…The results of this work were achieved with a spectroscopic system based on a stack of two large volwne Coplanar Grid (Cd,Zn)Te detectors [1, 2, 3] manufactured from Redlen [4] material with temperature stabilization by Peltier cooling to improve the detector performance and to stabilize the photopeak positions in the energy spectra [5]. The peak heights of the detectors were measured with a custom versatile digital Multi Channel Analyzer, the GMCA [6,7], using trapezoidal filtering and the coincidence sum mode to improve the photopeak efficiency.…”

“…The system that we deployed was already introduced[5] and uses two Coplanar Grid (Cd,Zn)Te detectors, each with a size of 19 mm x 19 mm x 5 mm. U sing two detectors with 5 mm thickness gives the best tradeoff between detector volume and cost, since 10 mm thick detector grade (Cd,Zn)Te material is only available at much higher expense.…”
