Keywords: | Photon detectors; X-ray detection; Avalanche photodiodes; Magnetic field | Issue Date: | 2003 | Citation: | Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment. 498:1-3 (2003) 362-368 | Abstract: | The behaviour of large-area avalanche photodiodes for X-rays, visible and vacuum-ultra-violet (VUV) light detection in magnetic fields up to 5 T is described. For X-rays and visible light detection, the photodiode pulse amplitude and energy resolution were unaffected from 0 to 5 T, demonstrating the insensitivity of this type of detector to strong magnetic fields. For VUV light detection, however, the photodiode relative pulse amplitude decreases with increasing magnetic field intensity reaching a reduction of about 24% at 5 T, and the energy resolution degrades noticeably with increasing magnetic field. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4483 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0168-9002(02)02081-8 | Rights: | openAccess |
