LDRD Final Report: Highly Segmented Silicon Strip Detectors for Radiation Detection

Abstract

Large area highly segmented silicon strip detectors were investigated for use in applied radiation detection applications. Two ASIC-based readout electronics solutions were tested for compatibility. During the analysis, it was determined that significant computational resources and highly specialized firmware are required to reconstruct the data into a meaningful data stream for generalized spectroscopic performance. Future investment in the technology and careful choice of readout ASIC is expected to demonstrate relevance in measuring high activity samples.
