CZT 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 کاملEnergy resolution improvement in room-temperature CZT detectors
We present methods to improve the energy resolution of single channel, room-temperature Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride (CZT) detectors. A new preamplifier design enables the acquisition of the actual transient current from the crystals and straightforward data analysis methods yield unprecedented energy resolution for our test-detectors. These consist of an eVCAPture Plus crystal as standard and 1 cm c...
متن کاملNew Results for the CZT Drift
The drift strip method for improving the energy response of a CdZnTe (CZT) detector to hard X and gamma rays is discussed. Results for a 10x10x3 mm3 detector crystal demonstrate a remarkable improvement of the energy resolution. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) is 2.18 keV (3.6%), 2.45 keV (3.0%), 2.86 keV (0.8%) and 3.89 keV (0.6%) at 60 keV, 80 keV, 356 keV and 661 keV, respectively. The...
متن کاملAdvanced Readout ASICs for Multielement CZT Detectors
A generation of high performance front-end and read-out ASICs customized for highly segmented CdZnTe sensors is presented. The ASICs, developed in a multi-year effort at Brookhaven National Laboratory, are targeted to a wide range of applications including medical, safeguards/security, industrial, research, and spectroscopy. The front-end multichannel ASICs provide high accuracy low noise pream...
متن کاملHigh Energy Neutrino Astrophysics
I give a brief discussion of possible sources of high energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin over the energy range from ∼ 10 12 eV to ∼ 10 25 eV. In particular I shall review predictions of the diffuse neutrino intensity. Neutrinos from interactions of galactic cosmic rays with interstellar matter are guaranteed, and the intensity can be reliably predicted to within a factor of 2. Somewhat le...
