Description
This talk will present recent advances in high-Z and wide-bandgap photoconductor detectors developed at the Radiological Instrumentation Laboratory, UC Santa Cruz. I will discuss: Edge-on cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector architectures enabling depth-of-interaction sensing, high energy resolution, and scalability for photon-counting CT, SPECT, and Compton imaging. Thick amorphous selenium (a-Se) and Se-Te-Ge alloy photoconductors designed for avalanche gain, low lag, and improved charge transport, offering new opportunities for high-resolution soft and hard X-ray detection.
