CADMIUM ZINC TELLURIDE (CZT) IMAGER INTRODUCTION : • SCIENTIFIC REQUIRMENT 2. DETECTORS USED IN IMAGER 3. ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS (FRONT END ELECTRONICSUSED) IN THE IMAGER 4. FUNCTIONING NEW CZT DETECTOR MODULE 5. DATA ACCUMULATION FROM VARIOUS DETECTOR TO ENCODER 6. GROUNDING SCHEME. 7. COMPONENT LIST USED IN THESE CIRCUITS.
To achieve good spectroscopic capabilities in the range of 10 – 100 KeV • with optimum background counts and spectral resolution, even in • extended energy range up to 1MeV. • Since the detector construction and total area covered is such a way that With help of Coded Aperture Mass (CAM) a moderate image can be studied in 10 -100 KeV energy range. 3)CZT detector (pixilated form) has large energy bandwidth with fine resolution within 10 -100 KeV energy range. 4) Reducing background counts using collimation and anti-coincidence detector (Veto Detector) below the CZT detector plane.
SENSITIVITY OF CZT IMAGER Minimum detectable intensity = 3Nb / (A* T * * E) Photons /(cm2 Sec Sr KeV) Background • WHERE • Nb is background • is detector efficiency δE is the energy interval of observation • T is the integration time flux Source BACKGROUND (Nb) HAS TO BE AS LOW AS POSSIBLE Energy
