Performance
Scientific paper
The next generation of hard X-ray instruments will employ focusing
telescopes, which can achieve orders of magnitude improvement in
sensitivity compared to current instruments on modest sized platforms.
Solid state Cadmium Zinc Telluride pixel detectors have recently been
developed and implemented as focal plane detectors for these new
telescopes, since they can achieve good imaging and spectral
performance from X-ray energies of a few keV to greater than 100 keV.
We have developed a high-performance Cd(Zn)Te pixel detector for use
with the High Energy Focusing Telescope balloon experiment, and the
Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) Explorer mission. We
present laboratory measurement as well as flight data from the HEFT
program that demonstrate the spectral resolution, imaging performance,
quantum efficiency, and background levels achievable for balloon and
space platforms using the HEFT/NuSTAR hybrid configuration.
