First investigation of the response of solar cells to heavy ions above 1 AMeV

Abstract: Solar cells have been used since several decades for the detection of fission fragments at about 1 AMeV. The advantages of solar cells regarding their cost (few euros) and radiation damage resistance make them an interesting candidate for heavy ion detection and an appealing alternative to silicon detectors. A first exploratory measurement of the response of solar cells to heavy ions at energies above 1 AMeV has been performed at the GANIL facility, Caen, France. Such measurements were performed with 84 Kr and… Show more

“…In particular, Double-sided Silicon Strip Detectors (DSSD) are commonly used for ion spectroscopy in low-energy nuclear physics and became available recently featuring low out-gassing materials and in situ bakeout above 100 • C [30]. Moreover, the development of solar cells and diamond semiconductor chips as heavy ion detectors is on-going and eventually envisioned for use in storage rings [31].…”
