X-ray spectrometry with Peltier-cooled large area avalanche photodiodes
Performance characteristics of the response of a Peltier-cooled large-area avalanche photodiode are investigated. Detector gain, energy linearity, energy resolution and minimum detectable energy are studied at different operation temperatures. Detector energy resolution and lowest detectable X-ray energy present a strong improvement as the operation temperature is reduced from 25 to 15 C and sl...
متن کاملApplication of large-area avalanche photodiodes to X-ray spectrometry of muonic atoms
Large-area avalanche photodiodes have been investigated as 1.9-keV X-ray detectors for the muonic hydrogen Lamb-shift experiment. We report experimental tests carried out for evaluation of the avalanche photodiode capabilities for X-ray detection in the intense radiation and low counting rate environment of experiments with muonic atoms. Several muonic atoms were used and it was shown that the ...
متن کاملApplication of large-area avalanche photodiodes to energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence analysis
The performance of several large-area avalanche photodiodes (LAAPDs) for application to x-ray spectrometry at room temperature was investigated. Optimum detector performance was obtained for gains of about 50–70. Good energy linearity of the LAAPDs’ response to x-rays was observed up to energies of about 25 keV. For this energy range the space charge effects are negligible for gains below 100–1...
متن کاملImproved x-ray detection and particle identification with avalanche photodiodes.
Avalanche photodiodes are commonly used as detectors for low energy x-rays. In this work, we report on a fitting technique used to account for different detector responses resulting from photoabsorption in the various avalanche photodiode layers. The use of this technique results in an improvement of the energy resolution at 8.2 keV by up to a factor of 2 and corrects the timing information by ...
متن کاملNon-linear behaviour of large-area avalanche photodiodes
The characterisation of photodiodes used as photosensors requires a determination of the number of electron–hole pairs produced by scintillation light. One method involves comparing signals produced by X-ray absorptions occurring directly in the avalanche photodiode with the light signals. When the light is derived from light-emitting diodes in the 400–600 nm range, significant non-linear behav...
