Method for compensating for the effects of incomplete charge collection and for improving spectroscopic characteristics of room temperature solid state gamma or x-ray detectors

摘要

A method for detecting gamma or X-ray radiation comprising the steps of: (a) providing a room temperature solid state gamma or X-ray detector having an electron trapping parameter (et)e and thickness D; (b) applying to said detector a voltage V so as to tune the electron trapping to optimally compensate for the incomplete charge collection; (c) detecting said gamma or X-ray radiation with said detector.
