A Preamplifier-Shaper-Stretcher Integrated Circuit System for Use with Germanium Strip Detectors
A 16-channel Integrated Circuit readout electronics chip is being developed for use with a germanium strip detector. Such a system will provide superior energy resolution with 2dimensional imaging in a single instrument that can be used for X-ray imaging and nuclear line gamma-ray spectroscopy. As part of the total ASIC development, prototype ICs of a typical channel have been designed, fabrica...
متن کاملPosition Sensitive Germanium Detectors for the Advanced Compton Telescope
The nuclear line region of the gamma ray spectrum remains one of the most challenging and elusive goals of high energy astrophysics. The scientific objectives are well defined, but require well over a factor of 10 increase in sensitivity compared to present day instruments to be achieved. The most promising approach to achieve this sensitivity and a broad range of scientific objectives is offer...
متن کاملGermanium Detectors for the Far
Germanium photoconductors have been used in a variety of infrared astronomical experiments, both airborne and space-based. The bulk of our knowledge of the far-infrared properties of astronomical objects has come from observations made with these detectors. This paper describes the operational theory of these detectors, including amplifier considerations. Examples of recent focal plane array de...
متن کاملSurface characterisation of Germanium detectors
Germanium-detectors are the most sensitive high-resolution γ detectors available and are the instrument in nuclear structure physics which allows important information about the structure of atomic nuclei to be obtained. The technology of High purity Germanium detectors is presented in [1]. The reported work is motivated by the needs for a new mechanical treatment procedure within the manufactu...
متن کاملGamma Spectroscopy with Germanium Detectors
The MAJORANA collaboration[1] aims to detect neutrino-less double beta decay (0νββ) in Ge, using an array of germanium p-type point contact detectors. An important factor in this effort is the minimization of backgrounds from any hardware which is needed to operate the detectors. In order to best understand and minimize this background, one must analyze the gamma spectrum from these pieces of h...
