Description
The X-PIPS Detector is a spectroscopy sub-system sensitive to X-rays and low-energy gamma rays. It comprises a hermetically sealed silicon drift detector (SDD) element with a low noise CMOS reset type preamplifier and Peltier cooler. The detector element and CMOS preamplifier are cooled. The Beryllium entrance window is standard 0.5 mil.
The preamplifier has a reset mechanism providing fast reset time and excellent count rate performance.
The energy resolution is guaranteed at typical operating temperature within an ambient temperature range of +10 °C to + 30 °C.
The X-PIPS Detector has an internal multilayer collimator for improved peak to background.
