Germanium Detectors for the Far
Germanium photoconductors have been used in a variety of infrared astronomical experiments, both airborne and space-based. The bulk of our knowledge of the far-infrared properties of astronomical objects has come from observations made with these detectors. This paper describes the operational theory of these detectors, including amplifier considerations. Examples of recent focal plane array de...
متن کاملMulti-element superconducting nanowire single photon detectors
Single-photon-detector arrays can provide unparalleled performance and detailed information in applications that require precise timing and single photon sensitivity. Such arrays have been demonstrated using a number of single-photon-detector technologies, but the high performance of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) and the unavoidable overhead of cryogenic cooling make...
متن کاملPerformance of multi-element CdZnTe detectors
Single-element CdZnTe detectors are limited in size, and therefore efficiency, by the poor hole transport, even with a coplanar grid. We are investigating the possibility of a 27-element (3 × 3 × 3) array using 15 mm × 15 mm × 15 mm elements for gamma-ray energies to 10 MeV for NASA planetary missions. We present experimental results for combinations of various size coplanar grid detectors usin...
متن کاملSurface characterisation of Germanium detectors
Germanium-detectors are the most sensitive high-resolution γ detectors available and are the instrument in nuclear structure physics which allows important information about the structure of atomic nuclei to be obtained. The technology of High purity Germanium detectors is presented in [1]. The reported work is motivated by the needs for a new mechanical treatment procedure within the manufactu...
متن کاملGamma Spectroscopy with Germanium Detectors
The MAJORANA collaboration[1] aims to detect neutrino-less double beta decay (0νββ) in Ge, using an array of germanium p-type point contact detectors. An important factor in this effort is the minimization of backgrounds from any hardware which is needed to operate the detectors. In order to best understand and minimize this background, one must analyze the gamma spectrum from these pieces of h...
