Detectors for the Alpha and Beta Spectroscopy

SARAD has been manufacturing ion-implanted silicon detectors for the alpha/beta spectroscopy since 1994. SARAD detectors have been proved very worthwhile a thousand times as standard detectors or in our radiation measuring equipment. Key features are their robust design, low background signal and an outstanding spectroscopic performance even at low bias voltages. Already bias voltages of 10 V enable to completely absorb the alpha radiation up to an emission energy of 10 MeV. The space-charge depletion depth of the BS detector types especially developed for beta detection radiation amounts to more than 500 µm.
