Claim Text:
1. A radiation detector device, comprising: at least one radiation detector element configured to generate electrical charges in response to radiation interacting with a radiation detector material; at least one anode connected to the at least one radiation detector element and configured to output electrical signals from the radiation detector material corresponding to generated electrical charges; at least one shared cathode connected to one or more of the at least one radiation detector elements and configured to output electrical signals from the radiation detector material corresponding to generated electrical charges; a specialized radiation detector chip (SRDC) connected to the at least one anode and connected to the at least one shared cathode, wherein the SRDC is configured to receive the electrical signals, sense parameters of the received electrical signals, and output the sensed electrical signal parameters; a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a full charge collection (FCC) event correlation function and instructions for performing a correlation value comparison algorithm utilizing the FCC event correlation function as a reference curve to determine whether correlation values calculated for the sensed electrical signal parameters fit a FCC event correlation function profile; and a processor connected to the non-transitory computer readable storage medium and connected to the SRDC, wherein the processor is configured to receive the sensed electrical signal parameters, calculate correlation values for the sensed electrical signal parameters, and execute the instructions for performing the correlation value comparison algorithm.
