Digital Timing Algorithm for High Purity Germanium Detectors
The next generation of γ-ray detector arrays will be composed of large volume high purity germanium (HPGE) detectors that are electronically segmented. These detectors will be able to track γ-rays as they Compton scatter within the crystal and between adjacent crystals, eliminating the need for Compton suppression detectors and improving angular resolution. The new arrays will have much higher ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Potassium Content of Different Food Samples with High Purity Germanium Detectors
Measurements of the potassium content of samples of food, performed with High Purity Germanium detectors, are presented in this paper. The potassium content was measured by identifying the 1460 keV photons produced in the decay of the isotope 40K. Samples were selected, for which a high potassium content was expected. The measurements confirmed the expectations qualitatively, but not always qua...
متن کاملPerformance Characteristics of a Third-generation Spectroscopic Vehicle Portal Monitor based on High Purity Germanium Detectors
The general need for improved detection performance and reduced decision time for portal monitors, freight container scanners, and mobile search systems is being achieved with systems utilizing High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors. Highly specialized software analyzes the spectroscopic data to produce accurate results in live time. To meet the need, a new generation monitor has been developed...
متن کاملTowards high efficiency solid-state thermal and fast neutron detectors
Variety of applications of fast neutron detection utilize thermal neutron detectors and moderators. Examples include homeland security applications such as portal monitors and nuclear safeguards which employ passive systems for detection of fissile materials. These applications mostly rely on gas filled detectors such as 3He, BF3 or plastic scintillators and require high voltage for operation. ...
متن کاملRadiation Damage in Silicon Detectors for High-Energy Physics Experiments
Radiation effects in silicon detectors are discussed in view of their application in future high-energy physics experiments. An overview is given of the major changes in the operational parameters due to radiation damage and their origin in the radiation-induced microscopic disorder in the silicon bulk. The principal radiation hardening technologies are described that have been adopted by the h...
