Digital Timing Algorithm for High Purity Germanium Detectors
The next generation of γ-ray detector arrays will be composed of large volume high purity germanium (HPGE) detectors that are electronically segmented. These detectors will be able to track γ-rays as they Compton scatter within the crystal and between adjacent crystals, eliminating the need for Compton suppression detectors and improving angular resolution. The new arrays will have much higher ...
متن کاملRadiation Damage in Silicon Detectors for High-Energy Physics Experiments
Radiation effects in silicon detectors are discussed in view of their application in future high-energy physics experiments. An overview is given of the major changes in the operational parameters due to radiation damage and their origin in the radiation-induced microscopic disorder in the silicon bulk. The principal radiation hardening technologies are described that have been adopted by the h...
متن کاملPrecision Measurements of the Ionization Energy and Its Temperature Variation in High Purity Silicon Radiation Detectors
High precision absolute measurements of the ionization energy (e) for alpha particles and electrons have been made in two thick high purity silicon guard ring detectors between 100 K and 250 K. At a fixed energy (E) both Eo and cewere found to vary linearly (r = 0.999) with the band gap (WG). 6cx and Cealso increased with E and Ee# E-a. The slope (^Ca/AWG) = 1.83 + 0.04 is the lowest so far rep...
متن کاملRadiation Detectors in High Energy Physics*
Spark chambers, scintillation and Cerenkov detectors are used extensively in high energy physics experiments. The potential usefulness of semiconductor detectors is being investigated. There is a need for detectors which will identify very high energy particles. The various types of spark chambers are briefly reviewed, including narrow gap, wide gap and filmless chambers. Applications of scinti...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Potassium Content of Different Food Samples with High Purity Germanium Detectors
Measurements of the potassium content of samples of food, performed with High Purity Germanium detectors, are presented in this paper. The potassium content was measured by identifying the 1460 keV photons produced in the decay of the isotope 40K. Samples were selected, for which a high potassium content was expected. The measurements confirmed the expectations qualitatively, but not always qua...
