We have recently realized advanced CZT linear array detectors featuring sub-keV energy resolution, fabricated using high-flux HF-CZT material. These devices, specifically optimized for energy-resolved X-ray imaging, achieve a spatial resolution of 500 μm and an energy resolution better than 0.7 keV FWHM at 60 keV, enabling highly accurate spectral discrimination.
In this study, we report...

The Keck-PAD was developed at Cornell as a burst rate imager capable of recording images from successive electron bunches (154 ns period) from the Advanced Photon Source (APS) [1]. Both Si and hole-collecting Schottky CdTe have been successfully bonded to this ASIC and used with this frame rate. The facility upgrades at the APS will lower the bunch period to 77 ns, which will require...

52. Collaborative charactierzation of Redlen CdZnTe

In a collaborative effort, various European research facilities led by STFC (DESY, EuXFEL, ESRF and PSI) have acquired different types of Redlen CdZnTe sensors (pixelated and planar electrodes) to characterize them in a collaborative fashion using the particular strengths of each facility. This presentation will give an overview of the research results from each facility, ranging from ToF...
