Model XR-100T-CdTe-Stack is a new high performance X-Ray and Gamma Ray Detector, Preamplifier, and Cooler system using a stack of three 5 x 5 x 0.75 mm3 Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) diode detectors mounted on a thermoelectric cooler. Also on the cooler are the input FET and feedback components to the charge sensitive preamp. The internal components are kept at approximately-30°C, and can be monitored by a temperature sensitive integrated circuit. The hermetic TO-8 package of the detector has a light tight, vacuum tight 10 mil (µm) Beryllium window. All the critical connections between the detector and preamplifier have been made internally to the XR-100T-CdTe-Stack to ensure quick, first time operation by the user. The XR-100T-CdTe-Stack is provided complete with BNC connectors and power cable.
In order to facilitate the use of the detector, model PX4 was developed to provide a shaping amplifier using digital pulse processing technology; integrated multichannel analyzer, and power supplies.
