Prognosis for High-Z Semiconductor Detectors

Semiconductor Detectors for Nuclear Spectrometry *

Please make the following corrections on subject report. Figures 3-2 and 3-3 should be replaced by the attached figures. Page 91, line 12 should be changed to read "The Fano factor established by these measurements is .30 ± 0.03 which is entirely consistent with the approximate value of 0.32 derived from Van Roosbroeck's curves."

Semiconductor Detectors - an Introduction

Microstructured semiconductor neutron detectors

Perforated semiconductor neutron detectors are compact diode detectors that operate at low power and can be fashioned to have high thermal neutron detection efficiency. Fabricated from high-purity Si wafers, the perforations are etched into the diode surface with ICP-RIE and backfilled with LiF neutron reactive material. The intrinsic thermal neutron detection efficiency depends upon many facto...

New materials for radiation hard semiconductor detectors

We present a review of the current status of research into new semiconductor materials for use as particle tracking detectors in very high radiation environments. This work is carried out within the framework of the CERN RD50 collaboration, which is investigating detector technologies suitable for operation at the proposed Super-LHC facility (SLHC). Tracking detectors operating at the SLHC in t...
