Title
A Coin-Sized Detector for Room-Temperature X-Ray Photons and Electron Spectroscopy
Abstract
The system design and characterization of a compact single-SDD (Silicon Drift Detector) module for X-ray and electron spectroscopy in a windowless, room-temperature, vacuum environment is presented. The measured SDD leakage current density at +22° C is only 31 pA/cm <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> . The module, characterized at room temperature with <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">55</sub> Fe X-rays, demonstrated state-of-the-art performance: an energy resolution of 136 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV has been obtained with 1 μs filter peaking time, and its count-rate capability has been tested up to 4.2 Mcps with a 32 ns filter peaking time while maintaining an energy resolution of less than 200 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV.
