CdZnTe room-temperature semiconductor operation in liquid scintillator
arXiv:0710.2738 · doi:10.1088/1748-0221/3/01/P01007
Abstract
We demonstrate the first operation of CdZnTe room-temperature detectors in a liquid scintillator environment. This work follows conceptually the Heusser-type detector method of operating HPGe detectors in liquid nitrogen and liquid argon but instead for a far more practical room-temperature ensemble with the aim of achieving ultra-low background levels for radiation detection.
