Descripción
Semiconductor devices are widely used as radiation sensors in many physics applications. They are of uttermost importance in the High Energy Physics experiments as tracking devices and extensively used in Nuclear Physics for spectroscopy. Moreover, silicon sensors have an increasing number of applications in imaging Medical Physics where their low cost, miniaturization, packaging and integration of electronics represent a clear advantage.
Because of the social impact of this kind of sensors, it becomes necessary that physicists and engineers are educated not only on the first principles of the semiconductor sensors operation, but also in their handling and in the operation of the associated instrumentation. Undergraduate and postgraduate students of the field will boost their professional capabilities if they master this technology.
ALIBAVA SYSTEMS® has designed a compact system that renders the training of students at the university teaching laboratories straightforward and efficient. The system is a perfect tool to learn about the signal formation in semiconductor sensors as well as data processing. It can also be used to test the physics laws that govern the interaction of radiation with matter or as modern alternative to test other physics principles.
ALIBAVA EASY ® is suitable for its handling by undergraduate and postgraduate students (following university lectures on radiation detection instrumentation). The system contains a micro-strip sensor, which is readout by the front-end electronics (based on a low noise ASIC with 128 input channels). The properties and operation of micro-strip sensors and signal formation in those devices can be studied stimulating the sensors with a laser or a radioactive source.
