  • Descrição: We propose a new strip configuration for CdTe X-ray detectors, named “Wide-gap CdTe strip detector”, in which the gap between adjacent strips is much wider than the width of each strip. It has been known that the observed energies of an incoming photon in adjacent strips can be utilized to achieve a position resolution finer than the strip pitch, if and only if the charge cloud induced by an incoming X-ray photon is split into multiple strips and their energies are accurately measured. However, with existing CdTe strip detectors, the ratio of such charge-sharing events is limited. An idea for a potential breakthrough to greatly enhance the ratio of charge-sharing events is to widen the gaps between strips on the detector. To test the concept, we developed a wide-gap CdTe strip detector, which has 64 platinum strip electrodes on the cathode side with some variations in strip pitches from 60 μm (30 μm strip and 30 μm gap width) to 80 μm (30 μm strip and 50 μm gap width). We evaluated the performance depending on the strip pitches by irradiating X-rays from 241Am on the detector. The charge loss due to the wider gaps on the detector was found to be significant to the extent that the assumption that the energy of an incoming photon for a charge-sharing event was the simple sum of the energies detected in adjacent strips lead to a significant degradation in the energy resolution in the accumulated spectrum, compared with those obtained with its predecessor having standard gap-widths. We then developed a new energy-reconstruction method to compensate for the charge loss. Application of the method to the data yielded a spectrum with a comparable spectral resolution with that of the predecessor. The ratio of the charge-sharing events for 17.8 keV events was doubled from that of the predecessor, from 24.3 to 49.9 percent. We assessed the results with a theoretical simulation based on the Shockley–Ramo theorem and found that they were in agreement.
