Performance of a 6×6 segmented germanium detector for γ-ray tracking

Abstract A 36 fold segmented germanium coaxial detector has been supplied by EURISYS MESURES. The outer contact is segmented both radially and longitudinally. The signals from the fast preamplifiers have been digitised by 12 bit , 40 MHz ADCs. In this article we report preliminary results obtained using this detector and their relevance for future germanium γ-ray tracking arrays.
