Determination of virtual point for HPGe detector at various gamma rays energies by simulation and experimental methods
High Purity Germanium detectors (HPGe) are subdivisions of semiconductor detectors which are widely used in nuclear technology from space industry to nuclear medicine, due to their high resolution, low dead time, unlimited size and compatibility with a variety of environments. The( absolute and intrinsic) efficiency of the HPGe detector, which depends on the geometry of the source-detector syst...
متن کاملRecent Progress in CdTe and CdZnTe Detectors
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) and cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) have been regarded as promising semiconductor materials for hard X-ray and γray detection. The high atomic number of the materials (ZCd =48, ZTe=52) gives a high quantum efficiency in comparison with Si. The large band-gap energy (Eg ∼ 1.5 eV) allows us to operate the detector at room temperature. However, a considerable amount of cha...
