Lithium drifted Silicon detectors to address the need for better detection efficiency for high energy charged particles.
Description
- As a standard two active areas 200 mm2 and 500 mm2
- As a standard two thicknesses 2 mm and 5 mm.
- Other dimensions or shapes are available on request
- Gold entrance window 0.2 μm equivalent silicon
- Lithium back contact 300 μm. As an option a thin 50μm contact is possible for transmission mode (deltaE) )
- Circular Stainless Steel mounts
- SMA female connector at the back of the housing
Operation
- The detectors can be operated either under vacuum or atmospheric pressure
- They must be used in darkness
