| Abstract: | In this study, the validity of the effective (virtual) point-detector concept for the CdZnTe (CZT) detector for disc-shaped radioisotope sources has been investigated in the photon energy range of 50–662 keV. It has been found that the virtual point-detector model is valid for conventional CZT detectors. The photon energy dependence of the virtual interaction depth (VID) in the CZT detector does not seem to fit to a good trend. However, in general, the measured VID values are increasing with increasing γ-ray energy in the range of 50–662 keV, but the VID values always remain within the physical thickness of the CZT detector. For instance, the VID value was measured to be about 4.4±0.5 mm in the 5 mm thick CZT detector at 662 keV γ-ray energy. In application, the VID values for photons can be used for efficiency calculation models by scaling the measured detection efficiency as a function of energy and source-to-detector distance. |
