Abstract

A quantum detector module for the quantitative and energy-resolved determination of quantum absorption events, a quantum detector, a method for determining quantum absorption events, a computer program product and a radiation detection device are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the quantum detector module includes a multiplicity of detector pixels. In order to determine the quantum absorption events particularly precisely, in at least one embodiment it is provided that the detector pixels have at least two mutually different pixel apertures.
