High-throughput spectral-timing with large-area SDDs

Le résumé fourni par la source

The Large Area Detector (LAD) is an instrument concept based on an array of collimated large-area linear Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs). Its design was specifically developed to perform optimal spectral resolution and timing studies in the 2-30 keV band. A prototype of LAD with lower number of anodes was coupled with a novel CMOS analog front-end Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (AFE ASIC), named NOVA, to demonstrate the performances of the combined instruments, in view of future mission proposals. In this work, we will present the spectral resolution results obtained for the integrated detector system (NOVA ASIC and SDD prototype) as a function of operational parameters.
