Preliminary experiment with a Si p-i-n photodiode for room temperature X-ray detection
Description
Due to their relatively thin sensitive region, Si p-i-n- photodiodes are well suited to low energy (≤ 20 keV) X ray detection. To test their performance, photodiode with removed glass window was mounted into a standard Si(Li) detector cryostat. The response of the diode, reverse biased with 90 V, to uncollimated 55Fe and 241Am sources was measured. Remarkable energy resolution improvement, relative to the presently achieved 860 eV noise line width is expected under optimised conditions. (N.T.) 13 refs.; 1 fig
