Abstract | A new detector system having two layers of three by three 3-D position sensitive CdZnTe gamma-ray spectrometers is being developed. Each detector module consists of a 1.5times1.5times1.0 $cm^{3}$ pixellated (11times11 pixels) CdZnTe detector and a VAS_UM2.3/TAT4 ASIC front-end board. Using the 3-D position sensing technique, each detector can be electronically divided into 11times11times40 (40 depth slices) small voxels. The detector response within each voxel is reasonably uniform (variations in weighting potential and electron trapping are minimized) and the energy resolution can be very good (~1% FWHM at 662 keV). A calibration matrix can be derived based on the voxel response so that the performance of entire detector can be very close to the performance of small voxels. However, each voxel needs a reasonable amount of events for the calibration, thus the number of calibration events needed for the whole detector is considerably large - ~50 million for each detector. This requirement poses a challenge to the calibration of the system especially for large arrays. Simply reducing the readout dead time for each event may not be the ultimate solution due to other bottlenecks in the system such as data transfer rate and data processing speed. This paper will analyze the bottlenecks in the current dual-array system and discuss possible strategies to speed up the calibration process. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
