Abstract
The performance of a room temperature mercuric iodide X-ray detector was investigated as a function of detector bias, amplifier time constant, and detector temperature. A Mn Kα line of 200 eV FWHM was obtained by using low noise electronics developed for Si(Li) detectors, including a cooled input PET. Measurements of the detector's resolution at various X-ray energies result in a Fano factor of 0.20.Keywords
