Analysis of Background Events in Silicon Drift Detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
Measurements of the energy resolution and the peak-to-background ratio of a Silicon Drift Detector at several positions and biasing voltages are performed. The origins of events with partial charge collection, which contribute to the background, are identified. A model describing the different mechanisms and the spatial distribution of partial events is developed. By optimizing the biasing voltages, an improvement of the peak-to-background ratio of up to 20% is obtained.

The 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 کاملTime-Integrated Charge Asymmetries at DØ
Using dimuon pairs has an advantage over single muon events because the dimuon events are relatively clean. To first order there is no charge asymmetry in dimuon background processes. This analysis uses approximately 1 fb of data collected during Fermilab RunII collider operations. This resulted in approximately 3 million dimuon events. Sources of background dimuon events include cosmic rays, c...
