The Germanium Detector and Double-Beta Decay. Germanium detectors have been the mainstay of nuclear spectroscopy and related fields for more than a half a century. They replaced NaI (Tl) scintillation detectors because the energy resolution is almost 40 times better for γ rays with energies near 1 MeV.
Germanium photodiodes are commonly used to measure optical power in the NIR range, especially in cost-sensitive applications or where a large-area detector is needed. However, germanium detectors have a lower shunt resistance and higher dark current than similarly-sized InGaAs detectors, resulting in higher noise levels overall. Therefore, …

Germanium Detector – Principle of Operation. The operation of semiconductor detectors is summarized in the following points: Ionizing radiation enters the detector's sensitive volume ( germanium crystal) and interacts with the semiconductor material. High-energy photon passing through the detector ionizes the atoms of the semiconductor ...

High-purity germanium detectors ( HPGe detectors) are the best solution for precise gamma and x-ray spectroscopy. In comparison to silicon detectors, germanium is much more efficient than silicon for radiation detection due to its atomic number being much higher than silicon and due to lower average energy necessary to create an …

When gamma-rays or charged particles interact within the germanium detector they release energy. About (10^6) electron-hole pairs are created for each MeV released in the active detector volume.

The germanium (Ge) detector is a counting detector and is the instrument that we will be using to count individual gamma emissions from samples. Gamma emissions are direct indicators of decay events. Since we are only using one detector, we are missing most of the decays because they emit gammas in every direction. We already know going into the
