State-of-the-art Silicon Detectors for X-ray Spectroscopy
The semiconductor laboratory of the Max-Planck-Institutes for physics and for extraterrestrial physics develops and fabricates silicon sensors for scientific experiments in astronomy and highenergy physics, as well as for industrial applications. Among them are state-of-the-art detectors for X-ray imaging and spectroscopy. Their common features are the integration of the readout electronics on ...
متن کاملRequirements on Amorphous Semiconductors for Medical X-Ray Detectors
Solid state X-ray detectors based on large-area amorphous semiconductors such as amorphous silicon or selenium have been developed. The requirements for various applications in medical diagnosis determine the boundary conditions for different detectors. Key parameters are image receptor size, spatial resolution, image frequency, signal-to-noise ratio, and long-term stability. Conventional thora...
متن کاملThe X-ray Response of Silicon Drift Detectors
A new discrete analytic calculation of the spectral response of silicon drift detectors for X-rays is developed and compared with measurements using monochromatic synchrotron radiation in the 0.2 to 1.9 keV energy range in order to explain the observed background. The calculations are in good agreement with the measurements for secondary electron charge cloud widths σsec of (85±7) nm below and ...
متن کاملX-Ray Phase Imaging for Medical Applications
X-ray radiographic absorption imaging is an invaluable tool in medical diagnostics and materials science. For biological tissue samples, polymers, or fiber composites, however, the use of conventional X-ray radiography is limited due to their weak absorption. This is resolved at highly brilliant X-ray synchrotron or micro-focus sources by using phase-sensitive imaging methods to improve contras...
متن کاملMonte-carlo Modeling of Silicon X-ray Detectors
A new 3-D Monte-Carlo code, X-Tracker, was developed to model internal events that occur as X-ray photons are absorbed within Si(Li) detectors. The goal was to model the performance of state-of-the-art detectors, including peak shapes, background and artifact peaks found in clean spectra from collimated radioactive and other X-ray sources. The model includes the influence of collimation, fr...
