Model 2003BT - Silicon Detector Preamplifier Brochure

The CANBERRA Model 2003BT charge sensitive FET input preamp is designed for optimum performance with Silicon detectors such as the CANBERRA Passivated Implanted Planar Silicon (PIPS^®) detectors and legacy Silicon Surface Barrier (SSB)detectors. Operating as a charge to voltage converter, the unit accepts charge carriers produced in the detector during each absorbed nuclear event. The output then provides a voltage in direct proportion to the collected charge at the rate of 0.45 V per pC. This translates to a gain of 20 mV per MeV for room temperature silicon detectors.
