Abstract
The utilization of short current pulses given by L- and U-type semiconductor radiation detectors was investigated. The maximum amplitude and minimum length of the current pulses from silicon detectors were calculated and plotted against resistivity for L detectors and voltage for U detectors respectively. By using a low input impedance, fast transistor current-sensitive preamplifier, L-detector exponential current waveforms (for 4 MeV protons, 5–15 MeV alpha particles and fission fragments) were verified. The possibility to employ current pulses for heavy charged particle spectrometry and to obtain simultaneously fast and slow pulses from the same detector were also checked experimentally.
