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...

An Introduction to Radar Sliding Window Detectors

An introduction to the theory of sliding window detection processes, used as alternatives to optimal Neyman-Pearson based radar detectors, is presented. Included is an outline of their historical development, together with an explanation for the resurgence of interest in such detectors for operation in modern maritime surveillance radar clutter. In particular, recent research has developed crit...

An Introduction to Radiation Counters and Detectors

In short then, this is a book of considerable value, most obviously to psychologists, obstetricians, pediatricians and others who may be called upon to counsel prospective parents, but the enormous range of disorders influenced by the genetic constitution of the host makes it imperative that this book be read as a text in basic medical science. It is encouraging to know that a comprehensive sur...
