We are presenting the current status of a stacked detector setup which consists of two mini-HXI double sided CdTe strip detectors (CdTe DSDs)|similar to those used in HXI|that are read out with the low-noise readout ASIC IDeF-X BD. We describe the configuration of the setup, its spectroscopic performance, and a long-term operation of the setup. The long-term test simulates the orbital operation of HXI using identical detector temperatures, bias voltages, and switch-on/switch-off cycles with the goal to study the detector stability and the evolution of its performance during operation. |
