Status and problems of semiconductor detectors
Abstract
The types of silicon and germanium detectors used or presently being developed for nuclear experiments are reviewed. Large-area silicon and germanium detector telescopes for use in long-range particle detection and identification are emphasized. Large area position-sensitive detectors are also described. Some results are presented regarding radiation damage and damage repair by annealing. Evidence is also presented for the importance of producing large area silicon crystals of adequate quality to reduce trapping problems to negligible proportions.
