A hybrid charge sensitive amplifier for high capacitance detectors

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1988
Abstract In the framework of the UA1 upgrading program a hybrid amplifier suitable for amplification of high capacitance detector charges has been developed. The adopted scheme, although very classical [V. Radeka, IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. NS-21 (1974) 51], will be discussed and performance presented.

Noise performance of the charge sensitive amplifier for photodetection

2007 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, 2007
An integrated circuit for charge sensitive amplifier (CSA) was developed for X-ray detection. The circuit has been optimized for reading signals from silicon strip detectors with few pF input capacitance for low power and low noise. Theoretical calculations and optimizations are presented and compared with experimental results. Noise as low as 237 ENC [

A Charge Sensitive Amplifier for time and energy measurements

2008 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, 2008
Silicon detectors are applied to measure precisely the energy loss of penetrating particles. The classical front end electronics for accurate energy measurements is a Charge-Sensitive-Amplifier (CSA). Modern data acquisition systems, which use time stamps to synchronize events, require in addition good timing properties of the sensors. In this paper we

A high resolution low cost charge sensitive amplifier

Nuclear Instruments and Methods, 1977
Abstract The development of a high resolution low cost charge sensitive amplifier was motivated by the installation of a liquid argon d E d x chamber in a high energy physics experiment (PLUTO experiment at DESY) for particle identification. The amplifiers were also used for the readout of a liquid argon shower counter. The properties of the

Statistical Analysis of the Saturation of Charge Sensitive Pre-Amplifiers

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 2007
The problem of the charge sensitive preamplifier (CSPA) saturation is considered. It is shown that statistical uncertainty of the CSPA saturation time intervals is small in real measurements and it is possible to apply a periodical programmable external reset of CSPA (as well as programmable protection of other electronic blocks in a spectrometer ...

Near-Quantum-Limited Operation of a Charge-Sensitive Electrical Amplifier

IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology, 2010
Here, we report the operation of a superconducting single-electron transistor (S-SET) as a fast and nearly quantum-limited charge-sensitive amplifier. By operating the S-SET such that Cooper pair tunneling is resonant across both of its tunnel junctions, we are able to achieve an excellent charge sensitivity of δq = 1.6 × 10-6 e/√(Hz), while also ...
