Imarad CZT + Ideas ASIC 1 microsec; Isolation; fast ADC; FPGA 256 ampli. (ASIC) LabView; Analysis
Open issues… (a `to do’ list:) • Space qualification of components: CZT module; Opto-isolator; CPM (CsI + photo-diode) • CZT procurement • Establishing collimator/ CAM methodology • Background modeling • CsI/ PMT qualification • Power/ weight
CZT procurement… • Next 4 months: Structural analysis of a module Replicate electronics (Detector board; amplifier; FE electronics) Temperature test Procure different configuration modules (same ASIC; different detectors) Generate qualification document • 5 – 8 months Proceed with qualification and choose Generate RFP • 9 – 12 months Procure additional modules for lab model • 13 – 18 months Procure flight modules
Background Reduction New “Phoswich” combination ….
Design considerations • Active Compton Background rejection • Simple shield – minimize mass • Collimator to reduce DCXRB • Quadrant-wise • Cooling requirements
Major components • CZT detectors • CsI(Tl) – anticoincidence • Collimator/ Coded Aperture Mask • Alha-tagged source • Data handling system
