Spatial resolution and detection efficiency of algorithms for charge sharing compensation in single photon counting hybrid pixel detectors

This paper presents a new method for charge sharing compensation in hybrid pixel semiconductor detectors. The presented solution is based on pattern recognition and allows to significantly reduce circuit complexity, while maintaining allocation accuracy of other, more complex algorithms. The proposed method is evaluated and compared to the existing solutions in terms of missed/false hit probability and allocation accuracy, based on simulation results of a pixel readout circuit model.
