Gamma spectrometric characterization of various CdTe and CdZnTe detectors

CdZnTe and CdTe detectors are now used by the Department of Safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency in significant numbers. To prepare, plan and support various verification methods, their properties must be well characterized and understood. In this paper we present some of the results which were obtained with large volume hemispheric CdZnTe detectors and high-resolution CdTe detectors.
