Simulating charge transport to understand the spectral response of Swept Charge Devices

Narendranath, S.; Sreekumar, P.; Athiray, P. S. +1 more

Context. Swept Charge Devices (SCD) are novel X-ray detectors optimized for improved spectral performance without any demand for active cooling. The Chandrayaan-1 X-ray Spectrometer (C1XS) experiment onboard the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft used an array of SCDs to map the global surface elemental abundances on the Moon using the X-ray fluorescence (X…
