Rare-event experiments such as LEGEND-1000 require high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors with excellent energy resolution, low electronic noise, and scalable low-background packaging. The germanium ring-contact (GeRC) concept addresses…
A study of signals originating near the lithium-diffused n+ contact of p-type point contact (PPC) high purity germanium detectors (HPGe) is presented. The transition region between the active germanium and the fully dead layer of the n+…
Semiconductor detector fabrication technologies developed decades ago are widely employed today to produce gamma-ray detectors from large volume, single crystals of high purity Ge (HPGe). Most all of these detectors are used exclusively for…
Radiation detectors constructed from large volume high purity Ge (HPGe) single crystals are widely used for gamma-ray spectroscopy. The detectors for this application can be simple in that they need only have two electrical contacts for…
Large, high-purity, germanium (HPGe) detectors are needed for neutrinoless double-beta decay and dark matter experiments. Currently, large (> 4 inches in diameter) HPGe crystals can be grown at the University of South Dakota (USD). We…
$P$-type high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors are widely used across many scientific domains, and current data analysis methods have served well in many use cases. However, applications like low-background experiments that search for rare…
The detection of low-energy deposition in the range of sub-eV through ionization using germanium (Ge) with a bandgap of $\sim$0.7 eV requires internal amplification of charge signal. This can be achieved through high electric field which…
Experiments to search for neutrinoless double-beta (0{\nu}\b{eta}\b{eta}) decay of 76Ge using a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector rely heavily on background suppression technologies to enhance their sensitivities. In this work, we…
Fabrication of diode by forming n-type electrical contact on germanium (Ge) and its AC impedance analysis is important for radiation detection in the form of pulses. In this work lithium (Li) metal has been electro-deposited on p-type Ge…
The p-type point-contact germanium (pPCGe) detectors have been widely adopted in searches for low energy physics events such as neutrinos and dark matter. This is due to their enhanced capabilities of background rejection, sensitivity at…
The first operational prototype of a high-purity Germanium (HPGe) detector developed within the European LEAPS-INNOV project is presented in this work. This prototype features a monolithic, multi-element sensor optimized for high-resolution…
A high efficiency, low background counting setup has been made at TIFR consisting of a special HPGe detector ($\sim$ 70%) surrounded by a low activity copper+lead shield. Detailed measurements are performed with point and extended geometry…
P-type point contact (PPC) HPGe detectors are a leading technology for rare event searches due to their excellent energy resolution, low thresholds, and multi-site event rejection capabilities. We have characterized a PPC detector's…
Neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) offers a sensitive probe of neutrino mass and its Majorana nature. Orthogonal-strip high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors with high spatial resolution provide a promising approach for…
The success of current and future-generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiments relies on the ability to eliminate or reduce extraneous backgrounds. In addition to constructing experiments using radiopure materials and handling in…
Searches for new physics push experiments to look for increasingly rare interactions. As a result, detectors require increasing sensitivity and specificity, and materials must be screened for naturally occurring, background-producing…
We report the fabrication and characterization of two p-type inverted coaxial point contact (ICPC) high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors, SAP16 and SAP17, produced from USD-grown crystals with net impurity concentrations of $\sim…
In recent years, researchers have manifested their interest in the two-dimensional (2D) mono-elemental materials of group-VI elements because of their excellent optoelectronic, photovoltaic and thermoelectric properties. Despite the…
A new generation of high-resolution hypernuclear gamma$-spectroscopy experiments with high-purity germanium detectors (HPGe) are presently designed at the FINUDA spectrometer at DAPhiNE, the Frascati phi-factory, and at PANDA, the…
Exploring hit positions of recorded events can help to understand and suppress backgrounds in rare event searching experiments. In this study, we virtually segment a small contact P-type high purity germanium detector (HPGe) into two…
