Description
Position Sensitive Detectors play a key role in X-ray and Gamma-ray Astronomy
as they allow imaging and spectroscopy of astrophysical sources throughout
the Universe. At these high energies, photons are generally characterized
individually, requiring sensitive and rapid low-noise charge amplifiers to extract
the information. In this review I will describe the detector technologies that are
currently employed in this fields and outline the challenges and requirements
for the future.
