Q1 – The core activity of Digital Pulse Shape from FAZIA R&D

Optimization of Silicon material for Pulse Shape Analysis applications.

Presently the PSA technique is far from being fully exploited, because two non-intrinsic limiting factors, i.e. channeling and silicon doping non-uniformities.

Channeling: proper choice of the cutting angle of the Silicon wafer eliminates the problem

Doping non-uniformity: close co-operation with Silicon industries / detector manufacturers is necessary, together with the development of lab-based uniformity-test techniques

Preliminary contacts with CANBERRA, TOPSIL, IRST/ITC confirmed the interest of specialized industries to co-operate

CHANNELINGCHANNELING

Channeling directions: wildly fluctuating current shapes – to avoid for PSA

Random directions: narrow current shapes – good for PSA

For optimum PSA performances special cut of Silicon wafer is necessary, at the cost of limiting the angle covered by each individual crystal

Also standard ΔE-E identification technique will benefit of channeling removal (a too often overlooked issue)

limiting factor for PSA and timing

Silicon Industries must improve striation control: even nTD silicon has significant residual resitivity striations

We will develop bench tests to control the doping, i.e. resistivity, uniformity

Q3 – How European Nuclear Physics will benefit...

PSA in Silicon detectors is strategic in Nuclear Structure and Reaction studies (see many talks and posters during this meeting) existing Access Facilities, like GANIL, INFN (LNL-LNS), GSI, KVI will certainly benefit form this activity

Q2 – Is the JRA innovative?•Reduction of residual resistivity striations in the nTD Silicon of a few kcm would certainly constitute an important innovation in itself

•Resistivity measurements by pulsed UV laser scanning is a promising technique (and novel from many respects)

•Optimization of Pulse Shape Analysis in Silicon will give support to Nuclear Physics research

Q4 - Overlap with other EU activity....FAZIA is involved in WP5 of SPIRAL2 Preparatory Phase (now under negotiation). No support has been asked for that specific issue, i.e. optimization of Silicon Material for PSA
