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...
متن کاملA liquid-helium cooled large-area silicon PIN photodiode x-ray detector
An x-ray detector using a liquid-helium cooled large-area silicon PIN photodiode has been developed along with a tailor-made charge sensitive preamplifier whose firststage JFET has been cooled. The operating temperature of the JFET has been varied separately and optimized. The xand γ-ray energy spectra for an Am source have been measured with the photodiode operated at 13 K. An energy resolutio...
متن کاملFuture X-ray timing missions
Thanks to the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), it is now widely recognized that fast X-ray timing can be used to probe strong gravity fields around collapsed objects and constrain the equation of state of dense matter in neutron stars. We first discuss some of the outstanding issues which could be solved with an X-ray timing mission building on the great successes of RXTE and providing an or...
متن کاملComparison of the current of UV ray radiation on PIN Silicon photodiode and Gallium Arsenide
The high-energy UV ray radiation on PIN Silicon photodiodes reduces the optimal parameters of these photodiodes. In this paper, by representing a model, we compare the effect of UV dose on the bright current in these two types of photodiodes and confirm the analytic relationships in order to simulate a model with the help of the Silvaco- Atlas software. In this model, Silicon photodiodes and Ga...
متن کاملX-ray Timing beyond the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer
With its ability to look at bright galactic X-ray sources with sub-millisecond time resolution, the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) discovered that the X-ray emission from accreting compact stars shows quasi-periodic oscillations on the dynamical timescales of the strong field region. RXTE showed also that waveform fitting of the oscillations resulting from hot spots at the surface of rapidl...
