314 mm2 Hexagonal Double-Sided Spiral Silicon Drift Detector for Soft X-Ray Detection Based on Ultra-Pure High Resistance Silicon

SiliSPECT: A Double-Sided Strip Silicon Detector-Based SPECT System

This work describes preliminary test studies with a dual-headed SPECT system that utilizes a new generation of silicon double-sided strip detectors (DSSDs) (Figure 1) with a 1-mm bulk thickness and larger active area (60 × 60 mm) as compared to standard gamma-ray silicon detectors. Furthermore, major improvements in the ASIC design make this detector very suitable for low-energy imaging of smal...

Low Noise Double - Sided Silicon Strip Detector for Multiple - Compton

A Semiconductor Multiple-Compton Telescope (SMCT) is being developed to explore the gammaray universe in an energy band 0.1–20 MeV, which is not well covered by the present or near-future gamma-ray telescopes. The key feature of the SMCT is the high energy resolution that is crucial for high angular resolution and high background rejection capability. We have developed prototype modules for a l...

Double-Layer Silicon PIN Photodiode X-Ray Detector for a Future X-ray Timing Mission

A double-layer silicon detector consisting of two 500μm-thick silicon PIN photodiodes with independent readouts was mounted in a vacuum chamber and tested with X-ray sources. The detector is sensitive from 1–30 keV with an effective area of 6 mm. The detector performs best at −35 ◦C with an energy resolution of 220 eV (FWHM, full width at half maximum) at 5.9 keV, and is able to operate at room...

Use of a silicon drift detector for cathodoluminescence detection

Characterization of a double-sided silicon strip detector autoradiography system.

PURPOSE The most commonly used technology currently used for autoradiography is storage phosphor screens, which has many benefits such as a large field of view but lacks particle-counting detection of the time and energy of each detected radionuclide decay. A number of alternative designs, using either solid state or scintillator detectors, have been developed to address these issues. The aim o...
