Due to events of the past two decades, there has been new and increased usage of
radiation-detection technologies for applications in homeland security, nonproliferation, and …

Signal variance in gamma-ray detector materials is reviewed with an emphasis on intrinsic
variance. Phenomenological models of electron cascades are examined and the Fano factor …

Pixel detectors are a particularly important class of particle and radiation detection devices.
They have an extremely broad spectrum of applications, ranging from high-energy physics …

This paper presents development of an X-ray pixel detector with a multi-port charge-coupled
device (MPCCD) for X-ray Free-Electron laser experiments. The fabrication process of the …

X-ray fluorescence, which is an analytical method for determination of the elemental
composition of bulk material and for characterization of coating systems, has a longtime …

We report on a new camera that is based on a pnCCD sensor for applications in scanning
transmission electron microscopy. Emerging new microscopy techniques demand improved …

For many applications, compound semiconductors are now viable competitors to elemental
semiconductors because of their wide range of physical properties. This book describes all …

Skipper-CCD can achieve deep sub-electron readout noise making possible the absolute
determination of the exact number of ionized electrons in a large range, from 0 to above …

The development of single charge resolving, macroscopic silicon detectors has opened a
window into rare processes at the O (eV) scale. In order to reconstruct the energy of a given …

The photon energy dependence of the mean energy W required to produce an electron-hole
pair in silicon for photons with energies between 50 and 1500 eV was determined from the …
