Abstract:
To improve electron momentum sensitivity in Coincidence Doppler Broadening Spectroscopy (CDBS) measurements it is envisaged to measure the angular correlation of annihilation radiation along with the energy of both annihilation photons. For this purpose two position sensitive 36-fold pixelated, planar germanium detectors will be utilized. The position sensitivity of one of those detectors has been tested with a collimated gamma source. A data acquisition system consisting of 37 sampling analogue-to-digital converters with PC based online/off-line processing has been installed. A position sensitivity of 1.6 mm has been achieved. «
