Abstract

A novel device which combines advantages of Silicon Drift Detector and Silicon Avalanche Diode on the same silicon water is proposed. Avalanche amplification is applied to cloud of drifting electrons in order to improve detection of radiation with low energy deposition coefficient. Principle and optimal conditions for the operation of this new detector based on Avalanche Amplifier are discussed.
