Oral presentation

HgCdTe APDs have been shown to exhibit single carrier multiplication (SCM) which gives desirable properties such as low multiplication excess noise (F<1.2) and gain independent response time up to multiplication gains exceeding 1000. Combined with quantum efficiencies (QE) which can approach 100 % in optimized detectors, theses detectors have the highest information conservation ratio QE/F of...

70. Neganov-Luke effect assisted Light Sensors

Dr Emiliano Olivieri (CNRS)

Oral presentation

Rare event physics like Direct Dark Matter and Neutrino-less Double Beta Decay detection strongly benefit of event-by-event discrimination capabilities. Composite Heat and Light bolometric detectors have shown excellent performance of environmental gamma's, beta's and alpha's tagging and rejection and therefore are widely used in such physics. The rejection capabilities mainly rely on the...
