Germanium Detector with Internal Amplification for Investigation of Rare Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
Device of new type is suggested germanium detector with internal amplification. Such detector having effective threshold about 10 eV opens up fresh opportunity for investigation of dark matter, measurement of neutrino magnet moment, of neutrino coherent scattering at nuclei and for study of solar neutrino problem. Construction of germanium detector with internal amplification and perspectives of its use are described.

متن کاملBackground reduction and sensitivity for germanium double beta decay experiments
Germanium detectors have very good capabilities for the investigation of rare phenomena like the neutrinoless double beta decay. Rejection of the background entangling the expected signal is one primary goal in this kind of experiments. Here, the attainable background reduction in the energy region where the neutrinoless double beta decay signal of Ge is expected to appear has been evaluated fo...

ABSTRACT Background : The application of DU emanation for first time contaminated certain areas in the south west region of Iraq after the second Gulf war (1991). These contaminated areas were discovered in 1994. Radioactive contamination was detected using the nuclear enterprise PCM5/1 in soil samples collected from two regions near by grazing lands. This study was done for assessment of D...

The GERmanium Detector Array, GERDA, is designed for the search for “neutrinoless double beta decay” (0ν2β) with germanium detectors enriched in 76Ge. An 18-fold segmented prototype detector for GERDA Phase II was exposed to an AmBe neutron source to improve the understanding of neutron induced backgrounds. Neutron interactions with the germanium isotopes themselves and in the surrounding mater...
متن کاملTest of pulse shape analysis using single Compton scattering events
Compton scattering is one of the dominant interaction processes in germanium for photons with an energy of around two MeV. If a photon scatters only once inside a germanium detector, the resulting event contains only one electron which normally deposits its energy within a mm range. Such events are similar to Ge neutrinoless double beta-decay (0νββ) events with just two electrons in the final s...
