CZT in Space Based Hard-X-ray Astronomy
A. Garson, H. Krawczynski, G. Weidenspointner +4
One of the key aspects of a detector material for space-borne hard X-ray and gamma-ray telescopes is the rate of prompt and delayed background events generated inside the material…
Test of Thick Pixelated Orbotech Detectors with and without Steering Grids
I. Jung, A. Garson, H. Krawczynski +4
We report here on the optimization of 0.5 cm thick pixelated Orbotech CZT detectors with regards to the best contacting materials and the use of steering grids. We evaluated the pe…
Using the Active Collimator and Shield Assembly of an EXIST-Type Mission as a Gamma-Ray Burst Spectrometer
A. Garson, H. Krawczynski, J. Grindlay +2
The Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) is a mission design concept that uses coded masks seen by Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors to register hard X-rays in the…
