New developments on silicon drift detectors

SummaryIn the frame of the project to develop large-area linear drift detectors few prototypes have been designed and produced. The function of these prototypes is to allow the evaluation of the solutions chosen for the geometry of the an-board electrodes and the production process. On these prototypes we have studied the static characteristics and measured time-of-flight and charge collection injecting charges with an IR laser source. We report the results from one of the prototypes.
