Schematic diagram of charges drifting in the CPG CdZnTe detectors. Q0 is created by γ-ray deposition at the interaction point rk. Then the electrons drift along the electric field line, from point rk to rk+1, rk+2,…, rn, and finally reach the collecting electrodes; likewise, the holes drift from rk to rk–1, rk–2,…, r0, and reach the cathode. O is the original point in space. rj is the vector from O to the point rj on the electric field line. For the electrons, j = k, k + 1,…, n, while, for the holes, j = 0, 1,…, k. The relationship between Qe, Qh and Q0 is shown in equation (7). The charges totally induced on the collecting electrodes by the movement of Q0 can be obtained by equation (8). |
