Abstract
Abstract The Hecht collection efficiency η 0 , and its modified expressions for exponential absorption, have been widely used in time-of-flight type transient photoconductivity experiments as well as in the assessment of the sensitivity of integrating-type radiation detectors. However, the equations apply under small signals in which the internal field remains uniform (unperturbed). We have used Monte Carlo simulation and the numerical solution of the continuity, trapping rate and Poisson equations to calculate the collection efficiency η r (CE) for various levels of charge injection and deep trapping. The carriers are injected instantaneously very near the radiation receiving electrode and then drift under space charge perturbed conditions. The CE deviation from the ideal Hecht value has been quantified in terms of the injection ratio r and the normalized trapping time τ with respect to the transit time under small signals. The results can be represented by a scaled, compressed exponential with coefficients that depend on τ . A plot is provided for these coefficients. The CE drops significantly below the Hecht value as r increases and the deviation is more pronounced for smaller τ values. The errors in extracting τ from the application of the Hecht equation has been also calculated and mapped as a function of different r and τ values.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
