semiconductor detector [¦sem·i·kən¦dək·tər di′tek·tər] (nucleonics) A particle detector which detects ionization produced by energetic charged particles in the depletion layer of a reverse-biasedpnjunction in a semiconductor, usually a very pure single crystal of silicon or germanium.

| The NXR Genie germanium detector is said to deliver new levels of speed, signal-to-noise ratio and hold time, allowing high-speed scanning without compromising on data quality. By housing the carbon-14 beta-particle sources inside the germanium detector, they hoped to get a cleaner, less ambiguous signal than that attainable in experiments in which the source and detector are separated. The prototype systems will incorporate arrays of ORTEC high-purity germanium detectors coupled with several unique and novel techniques to process and present data collected from possible gamma and neutron radiation emanating from pedestrians, vehicles, or freight containers. |
