Alpha PIPS Detectors: Series A
|
The A series of PIPS detectors is optimized for highresolution, high sensitivity, and low-background alpha spectroscopy. The thin window of the PIPS detector provides enhanced resolution with the close detector-source spacing needed for high efficiency. The low leakage current helps minimize peak shift with temperature variation. Detectors in the A-PIPS series are fabricated with specially designed and selected packaging materials which reduce alpha background and are processed and tested in low-background conditions to avoid contamination from alpha-emitting radionuclides. Because of these measures, the background count rate for A-series PIPS detectors is typically less than 0.05 counts/hr/cm2 in the energy range of 3 to 8 MeV. Alpha PIPS detectors have a minimum active thickness of greater than 140 ìm which is sufficient for full absorption of alpha particles of up to 15 MeV.
Resolution is given for 241Am, 5.486 MeV alphas, using standard CANBERRA electronics and 0.5 µs shaping time constant.
