Description
A multichannel CdTe radiation detector characterized by simultaneous operation in each channel and individual counting of the number of incident radioactive particles has been developed. Uniformity and stability at the regions of high dose rate are realized by heating the detector to suppress local polarization. The detector is constructed as a 256-channel detector module on a ceramic board with four 64-channel CdTe detector chips and plural IC chips for signal processing. Detector modules assembled in a line are available to various applications. In this paper, construction and characteristics of the multichannel CdTe radiation detector are summarized, and applications to a medical radiography and a detecting system for Compton scattering experiments using synchrotron radiation are also presented.
