Prospects for a 1 keV - 1 MeV monolithic gamma-ray detector and possible application in X/gamma-ray astronomy
Abstract
A X and gamma-ray detector based on a Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) coupled to a CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal is presented. The device is operated both as a direct X-ray detector for photons interacting in silicon, and as an indirect detector for photons interacting in the scintillator. Pulse shape discrimination (PSD) technique is used to discriminate the interaction type. The use of SDDs allows a low energy threshold (1 keV) and a good energy resolution both at X-ray energies (5.8% at 5.9 keV) and for gamma-rays interacting in the scintillator (6.9% at 662 keV), at room temperature. Pulse shape discrimination is possible throughout the detector's energy range. The detector's performances are described and discussed, and a concept study for a wide field gamma-ray transient monitor employing such detectors is presented....
