The segmented coaxial Germanium offers, in addition to the characteristics of coaxial detectors (High efficiency and excellent resolution), the potential for excellent granularity.
The Features
- For gamma tracking, polarimetry, Doppler effect correction, β decay suppression
- Longitudinal and transversal segmentation of the outer contact by photolithography (up to 36 segments), on various N type crystal geometries
- No dead zone or absorbing material between segments
- Monolithic detectors
- No measurable crosstalk effects
- Increased granularity of multi-detector systems
- Localization of the interaction and gamma ray
- Tracking capability through coincidence between internal core signal and segment contact signals
