Novel semiconductor detectors for X-ray astronomy and spectroscopy

Creators

Description

Three examples on novel semiconductor detectors developed at the MPI Semiconductor detector laboratory are described: the Semiconductor Drift Diode which is mainly used in spectroscopy , the pn-CCD used as focal detector in the XMM/Newton X-ray observatory and the DEPMOS pixel detector which is under development for the planned XEUS X-ray telescope as well as for applications in future particle physics experiments
