Book Description
This book addresses the fundamental principles of interaction between radiation and matter, the principles of working and the operation of particle detectors based on silicon solid state devices. It covers a broad scope in the fields of application of radiation detectors based on silicon solid state devices from low to high energy physics experiments, including in outer space and in the medical environment. This book also covers state-of-the-art detection techniques in the use of radiation detectors based on silicon solid state devices and their readout electronics, including the latest developments on pixelated silicon radiation detector and their application.The content and coverage of the book benefit from the extensive experience of the two authors who have made significant contributions as researchers as well as in teaching physics students in various universities.

Book Description
This second open access volume of the handbook series deals with detectors, large experimental facilities and data handling, both for accelerator and non-accelerator based experiments. It also covers applications in medicine and life sciences. A joint CERN-Springer initiative, the "Particle Physics Reference Library" provides revised and updated contributions based on previously published material in the well-known Landolt-Boernstein series on particle physics, accelerators and detectors (volumes 21A, B1,B2,C), which took stock of the field approximately one decade ago. Central to this new initiative is publication under full open access

Book Description
Research concerns the Li ion drift method of making wide depletion layer solid state nuclear particle detectors. Li ions, drifting in the field of a reverse biased Si diode at temperatures in the 100 to 140 C range, compensate to a high degree the original impurities of a pellet. With a suitably drifted unit, a voltage of 100 v or less will extend the depletion layer completely across a compensated region a few mm deep. Li atoms were diffused through a surface which had been diffused previously with P. The P diffusion provides a high conductivity surface layer necessary for the formation of good electrical diodes. As a high surface concentration of Li atoms is not required, only sufficient quantities need be diffused into the Si pellet as are required for compensation of original impurities. Al alloy layers were used for contacting to the back of the wafer. This contact was found not to give rise to excessive currents when the depletion layer is extended to the back of the pellet. If Li ions are accumulated in this alloy layer the diode current rises excessively. The excess of Li ions can be removed by changing the polarity of the drifting current which drifts the excess back into the pellet. Spectra taken using Cs-137 beta and gamma rays are presented along with a Po spectrum. (Author).
