Improvement and characterisation of pixelated Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride detectors for use in neutrino-less double-beta decay searches

Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride (CZT) detectors are seen as an ideal material for constructing intrinsic detectors for neutrino-less double-beta decay. However, the poor mobility of the charge carriers (specifically the holes) is known to result in poor resolution and decreased photo-efficiency. Simulations...
