The present detector and method allow the achievement of detector energy linearity and energy resolution similar to those of conventional GPSCs, reducing background levels and maximizing the detector count-rate capability. However, the obtained peak tails can be somewhat larger than those obtained with conventional GPSCs for X-ray energies above ~30 keV. Energy resolutions of 7.7%, 4.5% and 3.8% can be achieved for 5.9, 22.1 and 59.6 keV X-rays, respectively. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4456 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.nima.2003.07.061 | Direitos: | openAccess |
