UKRI-3353 CdZnTe Detectors with Fine Pitch Pixel for High Flux X-Ray Applications

Tender description

STFC require a X-ray detector materials with high stopping power at energies up to 100keV and can operate at very high X-ray fluxes of 108 ph/mm2/s and higher, without polarisation, to meet the needs to the next generation of X-ray science facilities. A selection of detectors are required over the next 3 years to support the development and of a new generation of readout electronics and to inform the a final detector system design. Lot 1: STFC require a X-ray detector materials with high stopping power at energies up to 100keV and can operate at very high X-ray fluxes of 108 ph/mm2/s and higher, without polarisation, to meet the needs to the next generation of X-ray science facilities. A selection of detectors are required over the next 3 years to support the development and of a new generation of readout electronics and to inform the a final detector system design. STFC will initially require 20 HEXITEC detectors and plan to purchase up to 500 detectors of different pixel pitches and dimensions over the next 3 years
