CdZnTe Detectors

Device type: Semiconductor detectors


A CdZnTe detector is best used when isotope identification needs to have good spatial and spectral resolution and wherever radiation fields are quite strong. Semispherical detectors from Ritec can be used in a range up to MeV for spectroscopic purposes. Planar shaped CdZnTe detectors may have better resolution below 100keV, but above it is harder to get evaluable spectra.



Characteristics

  • Small, handy and robust
  • 3 to 8 times better resolution than NaI detectors
  • No liquid nitrogen necessary
  • Measurements at room temperature
  • Ideal for mobile nuclide identification
  • Useable with strong sources of radiation

Applications

  • Monitoring of Nuclear Installations (IAEA Safeguards)
  • Uranium / Plutonium enrichment measurements
  • Verification and identification of radioactive material
  • Education / Training
