Encapsulation drastically enhances the germanium detector reliability. This technology is key for many applications, particularly in space, and especially if associated with Ultra-High Vacuum. Encapsulated germanium detectors may be easily handled by the users.
The Features
- For compact construction of multi-element detectors for gamma-ray applications
- Makes very large efficiency with unmatched solid angle coverage possible for gamma-ray spectroscopy
- Easy radiation damages (neutron/proton) annealing in Nuclear Physics experiments
- In situ annealing in space applications
- Large choice of shapes (pentagonal, hexagonal) for compact matrix assemblies
- Essential for complex cryostat development, particularly with segmented detectors
- Total reliability thanks to Ultra-High Vacuum Technology
- Easy detector handling and exchange operation
- Comfortable access to the cold front end electronics without any risk for the HPGe detector
