Spatial Resolution and Imaging of Gamma-Rays with Germanium Strip Detectors
Germanium strip detectors combine high quality spectral resolution with two-dimensional positioning of -ray interactions. Readout is accomplished using crossed electrodes on opposite faces of a planar germaniumdetector. Potential astrophysics applications include focal plane detectors for coded-aperture or grazing incidence X-ray mirror imagers, and as detection elements of a high resolution Co...
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...
متن کاملGermanium 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 کاملDigital Pulse Shape Analysis with Phoswich Detectors to Simplify Coincidence Measurements of Radioactive Xenon
The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty establishes a network of monitoring stations to detect radioactive xenon in the atmosphere from nuclear weapons testing. One such monitoring system is the Automated Radioxenon Sampler/Analyzer (ARSA) developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which uses a complex arrangement of separate beta and gamma detectors to detect beta-gamma coincidences...
