2. Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics Czech Technical University in Prague Charge sharing & energy resolution of pixel detectors Detected particle energy is a function of place of photon interaction Energy resolution of the detector is degraded due to charge sharing.  Detector matrix and the grid have the same period  pixel borders covered  charge sharing reduced  energy resolution improved  Detector matrix and the grid have different period  pixels covered in different positions  Moiré (oversampling) effect  charge sharing studies Solution – combination with an absorbing grid Frantisek Krejci Poster Nr. 185
