We are currently investigating the spatial resolution of highly pixelated Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detector for imaging applications. A 20 mm {times} 20 mm {times} 5 mm CZT substrate was fabricated with 600 {mu}m pitch pixels (500 {mu}m anode pixels with 100 {mu}m gap) and coplanar cathode. Charge sharing between two pixels was studied using collimated 122 keV gamma ray source. Experiments show a resolution of 125 {mu}m FWHM for double-pixel charge sharing events when the 600 {mu}m pixelated and 5 mm thick CZT detector biased at -1000 V. In addition, we analyzed the energy response of the 600 {mu}m pitch pixelated CZT detector.

We have evaluated the performance of a fine pitch CdTe Double-sided Strip Detector (CdTe-DSD), which was originally developed for the focal plane detector of a hard X-ray telescope to observe the Sun. The detector has a thickness of 750 um and has 12
8 strip electrodes with a 60 um strip pitch orthogonally placed on both sides of the detector and covers an energy range 4 keV to 80 keV. The study of the depth of photon interaction and charge sharing effects are of importance in order to provide good spectroscopic and imaging performance. We study the tail structure observed in the spectra caused by charge trapping and develop a new method to reconstruct the spectra based on induced charge information from both anode and cathode strips. By applying this method, energy resolutions (FWHM) of 0.76 keV and 1.0 keV can be obtained at photon energies of 14 keV and 60 keV, respectively, if the energy difference between the anode and cathode is within 1 keV. Furthermore, the tail component at 60 keV is reduced, and the energy resolution of the 60 keV peak is improved from 2.4 keV to 1.5 keV (FWHM) if the energy difference is greater than 1 keV. In order to study the imaging performance, we constructed a simple imaging system using a 5 mm thick tungsten plate that has a pinhole with a diameter of 100 um. We utilize a Ba-133 radioisotope of 1 mm in diameter as a target source in combination with a 100 um slit made from 0.5 mm thickness tungsten. We imaged the Ba-133 source behind the 100 um slit using a 30 keV peak, with a 100 um pinhole placed at the center of the source-detector distance. By applying a charge sharing correction between strips, we have succeeded in obtaining a position resolution better than the strip pitch of 60 um.
We report the demonstration of a low-power pixelated readout system designed for three-dimensional ionization charge detection and digital readout of liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs). Unambiguous 3D charge readout was achieved using a
custom-designed system-on-a-chip ASIC (LArPix) to uniquely instrument each pad in a pixelated array of charge-collection pads. The LArPix ASIC, manufactured in 180 nm bulk CMOS, provides 32 channels of charge-sensitive amplification with self-triggered digitization and multiplexed readout at temperatures from 80 K to 300 K. Using an 832-channel LArPix-based readout system with 3 mm spacing between pads, we demonstrated low-noise ($<$500 e$^-$ RMS equivalent noise charge) and very low-power ($<$100 $mu$W/channel) ionization signal detection and readout. The readout was used to successfully measure the three-dimensional ionization distributions of cosmic rays passing through a LArTPC, free from the ambiguities of existing projective techniques. The system design relies on standard printed circuit board manufacturing techniques, enabling scalable and low-cost production of large-area readout systems using common commercial facilities. This demonstration overcomes a critical technical obstacle for operation of LArTPCs in high-occupancy environments, such as the near detector site of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE).
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) have been selected for the future long-baseline Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). To allow LArTPCs to operate in the high-multiplicity near detector environment of DUNE, a new charge readout
technology is required. Traditional charge readout technologies introduce intrinsic ambiguities, combined with a slow detector response, these ambiguities have limited the performance of LArTPCs, until now. Here, we present a novel pixelated charge readout that enables the full 3D tracking capabilities of LArTPCs. We characterise the signal to noise ratio of charge readout chain, to be about 14, and demonstrate track reconstruction on 3D space points produced by the pixel readout. This pixelated charge readout makes LArTPCs a viable option for the DUNE near detector complex.
The MEG (Mu to Electron Gamma) experiment has been running at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), Switzerland since 2008 to search for the decay meg by using one of the most intense continuous $mu^+$ beams in the world. This paper presents the MEG comp
onents: the positron spectrometer, including a thin target, a superconducting magnet, a set of drift chambers for measuring the muon decay vertex and the positron momentum, a timing counter for measuring the positron time, and a liquid xenon detector for measuring the photon energy, position and time. The trigger system, the read-out electronics and the data acquisition system are also presented in detail. The paper is completed with a description of the equipment and techniques developed for the calibration in time and energy and the simulation of the whole apparatus.
Cadmium Zinc Telluride and Cadmium Telluride are the detector materials of choice for the detection of X-rays in the X-ray energy band E >= 5keV with excellent spatial and spectral resolution and without cryogenic cooling. Owing to recent breakthroug
hs in grazing incidence mirror technology, next-generation hard X-ray telescopes will achieve angular resolution between 5 and 10 arc seconds - about an order of magnitude better than that of the NuSTAR hard X-ray telescope. As a consequence, the next generation of X-ray telescopes will require pixelated X-ray detectors with pixels on a grid with a lattice constant of <= 250um. Additional detector requirements include a low energy threshold of less than 5keV and an energy resolution of less than one keV. The science drivers for a high angular-resolution X-ray mission include studies and measurements of black hole spins, the cosmic evolution of super-massive black holes, active galactic nuclei feedback, and the behaviour of matter at very high densities. In this contribution, we report on our R&D studies with the goal to optimise small-pixel Cadmium Zinc Telluride and Cadmium Telluride detectors.
