Abstract This study is devoted to the development of amplifying paths for plasma diagnostics, a significant part which use semiconductor detectors as sensors that form low-intensity current signals. One feature these diagnostics oscillographic registering sensor In tandem with detectors, broadband transimpedance amplifiers are based on operational used amplify and normalize The principles const...

A new charge loss correction method using genetic algorithms (GA) has been proposed to improve gamma ray energy spectrum characteristics of CdZnTe detectors. The correction method is based on the analysis of signal waveform shapes. GA recognizes the charge generation places for each signal and provides the related corrective factors of the pulse heights; the corrected energy spectrum was obtain...

Material identification in radiography is traditionally performed by dualenergy systems, using double exposure technique or two-layers detectors. Performance of such systems results from the closeness of the materials to be discriminated, from photonic noise, and energetic discriminating power of the detector. For difficult problems such as explosive detection in luggage, conventional dual-ener...

Perforated silicon structures backfilled with either B or LiF are presently under construction as high efficiency thermal-neutron detectors. Although many perforated structures are possible, there are three fundamental designs that are studied in the present work, namely (a) cylindrical perforations where holes are filled with neutron reactive material, (b) pillar configurations where semicondu...

As novel applications using terahertz radiation are developed, there is an increased demand for sensitive terahertz detectors. This has led to new approaches for enhancing the response of terahertz detectors. Results were recently reported on the terahertz response of a p-type AlGaAs/GaAs, n-type GaAs/AlGaAs, n-type GaN/AlGaN, and p-type GaSb/GaSb Interfacial Workfunction Internal Photoemission...

The first true coaxial 18–fold segmented n–type HPGe prototype detector produced by Canberra–France for the GERDA neutrinoless double beta-decay project was tested both at Canberra–France and at the Max–Planck–Institut für Physik in Munich. The main characteristics of the detector are given and measurements concerning detector properties are described. A novel method to establish contacts betwe...

Guided by the results of our analyzing-power measurements for p+d elastic scattering at 200 and 120 MeV,' we have designed and constructed two proton polarimeters for the IUCF high-energy beamlines. Each polarimeter contains four pairs of scintillators, where each pair consists of a thin AE paddle for the proton operated in coincidence with a stopping scintillator for the deuteron. The recoil d...
