Summary
This technical paper presents the development of high-resolution CdTe double-sided strip detectors with 60 micrometretre pitch for the FOXSI-3 solar physics sounding rocket mission. The work involves detailed characterisation of cadmium telluride detector materials and their assembly into functional detector arrays for hard X-ray spectroscopy of solar flares. Although published in a physics instrumentation journal, this paper is outside the scope of Vitagri's Pulse Brain research focus on farming systems, soil health, nutrient density, and human health.
UK applicability
This paper has no direct applicability to UK agricultural, soil health, or nutritional research priorities. It concerns solar physics instrumentation development rather than food systems science.
Key measures
Detector pitch geometry, CdTe crystal properties, double-sided strip detector performance characteristics, X-ray detection efficiency
Outcomes reported
The paper describes the development and characterisation of 60 micrometretre pitch CdTe double-sided strip detectors intended for use in the FOXSI-3 sounding rocket experiment for solar X-ray observations.
