Method and system for obtaining x-ray single photon spectroscopic data using room-temperature solid state detectors by measuring the induced electron current

摘要

A method for obtaining spectroscopic data of a single photon of a given energy that undergoes an interaction, beginning at a given point in time, with a room-temperature solid state detector of given thickness held at a given bias by an applied voltage, said interaction creating pairs of electrons and holes within the solid state detector which induce charge on said electrodes, the method comprising the steps of: taking sequential measurements in time of said induced charge whereby induced 83 י" ב באב התש" ס - August 13, 2000
