A mosaic-type array composed of Si photodiodes for charged-particle detection

Silicon (Si) detectors are extensively used for the detection of charged particles in nuclear and particle physics experiments. To achieve position-sensitive charged-particle detection with a relatively low cost, a mosaic-type array based on off-the-shelf Si photodiodes was developed. The high granularity allows the geometric configuration of the array to be modified according to the requirements of specific experiments. In this article, the results of an investigation of the photodiode characteristics using α sources are presented together with the results of an α -decay spectroscopy experiment performed using the constructed array.

Abstract

Silicon (Si) detectors are extensively used for the detection of charged particles in nuclear and particle physics experiments. To achieve position-sensitive charged-particle detection with a relatively low cost, a mosaic-type array based on off-the-shelf Si photodiodes was developed. The high granularity allows the geometric configuration of the array to be modified according to the requirements of specific experiments. In this article, the results of an investigation of the photodiode characteristics using α sources are presented together with the results of an α -decay spectroscopy experiment performed using the constructed array.
