Spatial characterization of monolithic multi-element Silicon-Drift-Detectors for X-ray spectroscopic applications

Description

Spatially resolved spectroscopic measurements with a 10 and 20 μm pencil beam have been performed on a monolithic 7-element Silicon-Drift-Detector (SDD). Detailed studies are shown of the modification of the spectroscopic response at pixel edges and pixel centre. The results give quantitative insight into the local SDD performance. A simple model predicts global properties (e.g. peak-to-background ratio) of larger SDD arrays, like the 61-element detector currently under development
