Fabrication and Performance Tests of a Segmented P-Type HPGe Detector
arXiv:0706.0034 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2008.05.034
Abstract
A p-type HPGe detector has been segmented by cutting, with a diamond saw, and etching six circumferential grooves through the Li-diffused dead layer. The degree of segmentation was tested with the 88 keV gamma rays from a well-collimated source of 109Cd. The fraction of events, recognized as occurring in more than one segment, and rejected from the energy interval 2038 +/- 5 keV, was measured as 0.59.
