Abstract

We used the Monte Carlo method to simulate the response of the CdZnTe detector for the monoenergetic photons. The energy range of photons was from 10keV to 150keV. By using the response function we corrected x - ray spectra with the stripping procedure. After the correction, we compared the result with the corrected x - ray spectra obtained with the High -Purity Ge detector (HPGe spectra).
We found that using the proper parameter for our simulation program, you would obtain x - ray spectra close to the HPGe spectra. But we also found that the incomplete charge collection was not evaluated in our simulation program.
