Improved Performance of a Commercial SDD for X-ray Microanalysis

Description

The performance of a silicon drift detector (SDD) is evaluated for SEM-based x-ray microanalysis. The throughput, spectral fidelity and energy resolution are measured as a function of input count rate and detector time constant for two pulse processors. Post-acquisition processing to minimize the effects of pulse pile-up is discussed
