Spectroscopic performances and electron transport properties in a 16x16-pixel CZT imaging hard-X-ray detector

High Resolution X-Ray Spectroscopy with Compound Semiconductor Detectors and Digital Pulse Processing Systems

“…the area between the peak center line and the peak's high-energy toe; the photopeak area was calculated as twice the HSA. The measured spectra were analyzed by using a custom function model, which takes into account both the symmetric and the asymmetric peak distortion effects (Del Sordo et al, 2004). Statistical errors on the spectroscopic parameters with a confidence level of 68% were associated.…”

Comparison of two portable solid state detectors with an improved collimation and alignment device for mammographic x-ray spectroscopy

“…Figure 4 shows the measured spectra obtained from CdTe and CZT detectors. The peak shape analysis was carried out using a typical model spectrum 8 which takes into account both the symmetric and asymmetric peak distortion effects. Both detectors showed similar spectral performance for the 22.1-keV line ͑energy resolution ϳ4%͒.…”

Silicon Photomultipliers for High-Performance Scintillation Crystal Readout Applications

“…As is well known, thin CdTe/CdZnTe detectors (1-2-mm thick) are very appealing for x-ray spectroscopy in the 1-100-keV energy range [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], whereas coaxial p-type Ge detectors are excellent spectrometers in the gamma energy range (>100 keV) [1,31].
