Detection of Low Energy Heavy Particles with Silicon Barrier Detectors

Detection of Low Energy Heavy Particles with Silicon Barrier Detectors

The performance characteristics of silicon surface barrier detectors have been investigated for detecting H+, He+, N+, Ne+ and Ar+ in the energy interval 6-100 keV. For a cryogenically cooled, 50 mm2, 1325 μ depletion depth detector the resolution for protons was 1.65 keV (FWHM). The resolution decr...

Zusammenfassung:The performance characteristics of silicon surface barrier detectors have been investigated for detecting H+, He+, N+, Ne+ and Ar+ in the energy interval 6-100 keV. For a cryogenically cooled, 50 mm2, 1325 μ depletion depth detector the resolution for protons was 1.65 keV (FWHM). The resolution decreased as the particle mass increased being 6.5 keV for 40 keV Ar+. All particles exhibit pulse height linearity throughout the energy range.
