High Purity Germanium Based Radiation Detectors with Segmented Amorphous Semiconductor Electrical Contacts: Fabrication Procedures

Autor: Amman, Mark

Radiation detectors constructed from large volume high purity Ge (HPGe) single crystals are widely used for gamma-ray spectroscopy. The detectors for this application can be simple in that they need only have two electrical contacts for voltage appli

Optimization of Amorphous Germanium Electrical Contacts and Surface Coatings on High Purity Germanium Radiation Detectors

Autor: Amman, Mark

Semiconductor detector fabrication technologies developed decades ago are widely employed today to produce gamma-ray detectors from large volume, single crystals of high purity Ge (HPGe). Most all of these detectors are used exclusively for spectrosc

Polarimetric Analysis of the Long Duration Gamma Ray Burst GRB 160530A With the Balloon Borne Compton Spectrometer and Imager

Autor: Lowell, Alexander W., Boggs, Steven E., Chiu, Jeng-Lun, Kierans, Carolyn A., Sleator, Clio C., Tomsick, John A., Zoglauer, Andreas C., Chang, Hsiang-Kuang, Tseng, Chao-Hsiung, Yang, Chien-Ying, Jean, Pierre, von Ballmoos, Peter, Lin, Chih-Hsun, Amman, Mark

A long duration gamma-ray burst, GRB 160530A, was detected by the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) during the 2016 COSI Super Pressure Balloon campaign. As a Compton telescope, COSI is inherently sensitive to the polarization of gamma-ray sourc
