Semiconductor Pixel detectors and their applications in life sciences

Semiconductor Drift Detectors: Applications and New Devices

Recent technological developments and new topology designs have made semiconductor drift detectors ideal devices for high-resolution x-ray spectrometry. In this paper the basic topology of a semiconductor drift detector with on-chip electronics specially designed for x-ray spectrometry is reviewed. These devices have been used for the first time in x-ray and g-ray spectroscopy applications. In ...

R&D on MAPS Pixel Detectors for Linear Collider Applications

CMOS-MAPS (Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors) are one possible technology which may fulfill the stringent requirements of a precision vertex detector at a future e + e − Linear Collider. Progress on the work on physics simulation, layout optimization, design of the mechanical structure and cooling, sensor simulation, radiation hardness, as well as results from measurements of sensors of 3.5 cm 2 ...

Two-phase emission detectors and their applications

A brief summary of R&D for two-phase emission detectors based on the extraction of ionisation electrons from condensed nonpolar dielectrics into the gas phase is presented. Preliminary results from tests of an emission detector filled with solid methane and gaseous neon are described. Possible applications of massive emission detectors are discussed.
