THE SOLID STATE IONIZATION CHAMBER. Technical Memorandum No. 626

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4178156

A solid state ionization chamber, featuring a p-n junction fused into silicon, was built. It is in use as a detector and energy spectrometer for protons, deuterons, He/sup 3/, alpha particles, and fission fragments. The techniques required for an operational neutron detector device are discussed. The detector is suitable for fast timing techniques in the range cf 10/sup -10/ seconds. The small size of the detector allows for its insertion into hypodermic needle, probes, or other small volumes. (W.D.M.)
