Enhancing Gamma-Ray Detection: Digital Solutions for Better Accuracy and Performance

Industry: The paper focuses on the semiconductor detector industry, particularly on the
advancements in gamma-ray spectroscopy. This field is crucial for applications like medical
imaging, security screening, nuclear power monitoring, and astrophysics.

Challenge: Traditional analog ASICs used in pixelated CdZnTe detectors have limitations in
providing detailed signal information, which affects the energy resolution and event
reconstruction, particularly for high-energy events and complex interactions.

Extraordinary Aspects of the Paper: Achieved 2 keV FWHM electronic noise, significantly improving energy resolution.

Demonstrated successful non-linearity correction, improving high-energy gamma-ray performance.

Enhanced event classification and reconstruction, identifying single-pixel multiple interactions, incomplete charge collection, and side-neighbor charge leakage events.

Improved material defect diagnosis using sub-pixel position resolution, aiding in the production of better-quality detectors.
