Abstract
CdTe0.9Se0.1:Cl is a detector grade material for gamma and X-rays. Its high resistivity and the high mobility lifetime product yield a high charge collection efficiency of 90 percent. CdTe0.9Se0.1:Cl was used f or the first time to built up a strip detector. The detector performan ce was investigated by a Co-57 source. The signal behaviour, charge co llection efficiency and coupling effects were analyzed for different s trips. The comparison between the signal amplitude of all strips showe d a good homogeneous response for the device. For a single strip a cha rge collection efficiency of more than 40 percent was obtained.
