Investigation of charge sharing among electrode strips for a CdZnTe detector

We have investigated charge sharing among the anode strips of a CdZnTe (CZT) detector using a 30 micrometer collimated gamma-ray beam. We compared the laboratory measurements with the predictions from our modeling of the charge transport within the detector. The results indicate that charge sharing is a function of the interaction depth and the energy of the incoming photon. Also, depending on depth, a fraction of the electrons might drift to the inter-anode region causing incomplete charge collection. Here, we show that photoelectron range and diffusion of the charge cloud are the principal causes of charge sharing and obtain limits on the size of the electron cloud as a function of position in the detector.Comment: 16 pages 10 figures.

The interaction of morphology and syntax in affix order

In this article, I propose a constraint-based account of ordering restrictions on subject agreement affixes. Different orderings of subject agreement, crosslin-guistically and in single languages, are captured by different rankings of uni-versal well-formedness constraints in the sense of Optimality Theory (OT
