摘要: CdZnTe (CZT) is a promising medium for room-temperature gamma-ray detectors. However, the low production yield of acceptable quality crystals hampers use CZT detectors spectroscopy. Significant efforts have been directed towards improving to make them generally available radiation Another way address this problem implement detector designs that would allow more accurate and predictable correction charge loss associated with crystal defects. In work, we demonstrate high-granularity position-sensitive can significantly improve performance fabricated from wider acceptance boundaries, leading an increase their availability expected decrease in cost.
