Room-temperature Semiconductor Detectors – Materials, Devices and Applications
All dates for this event occur in the past.
Dr. Yonggang Cui., Scientist and Group Leader, Radiation Detection and Emerging Safeguards Technologies, Brookhaven National Laboratory
ABSTRACT: Room-temperature semiconductor materials are attractive to gamma-ray radiation detection. Historically, Brookhaven National Laboratory has played a critical role in advancing this technology to a mature stage. Specifically, our research helped the community produce large high-quality detector-grade CdZnTe crystals. In addition to material research, BNL applies this detector technology to various applications including designing readout electronic circuit and building compact detector devices for spectroscopy and imaging applications. In this presentation, I will highlight BNL’s main contributions in material research, introduce the readout electronics and FPGA/microcontroller-based data acquisition, and discuss several example applications of CdZnTe in security and healthcare.
