Principles and new developments of semiconductor radiation detectors
Description
The physics aspects of semiconductor radiation detectors are briefly reviewed. A comparison with other radiation detectors, in particular with wire chambers, shows the unique features of the advanced semiconductor detectors of high density, high ionisation density and the possibility of drift field shaping using space charges. Novel applications and device arrangements are discussed. (orig.)
