Abstract

The rising and falling edges of detected signal pulses have been measured utilizing x-ray ionization of a planar Cd 1-xZn xTe system under different irradiation geometries, at different detector thicknesses, and applied electric fields. The experimental results of this study indicate that the time response of the CdZnTe based x-ray system is suitable for digital pulsed radiographic applications.
