Temperature distribution study of composite germanium detector

  • 1. University of Applied Sciences, Hochschule Darmstadt (Germany)
  • 2. Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Darmstadt (Germany)

Description

Temperature distributions of cooled Germanium (Ge) detectors are calculated by the COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS software in order to determine the necessary cooling power of an electromechanical cooling engine. For a single Ge-crystal heat losses of 2.5 W are determined which increase to 5.7 W for a composite detector with three Ge-crystals. The energy transfer may be reduced substantially by a heat reflector which will allow the electromechanical cooling engine to keep also the composite Ge-detector under desirable temperature.
