Progress in the development of CdTe detectors has reached a point where serious considerations have been given to their use as hard X-ray spectrometers for certain satellite applications. A measurement program to investigate the performance of CdTe gamma-ray detectors after bombardment with 33-MeV protons has been undertaken in order to evaluate the effects of energetic protons encountered in earth-orbit. Energy resolutions and leakage currents are observed to improve at moderate bombardment levels. Relative pulse heights and energy resolutions decrease significantly after large doses.
