A New Demonstrator of Multi-element Germanium Detector With an Optimized Front-end Electronics

This paper reports on a new demonstrator of multi-element germanium detector for X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) applications, with an optimized front-end electronics. The new front-end board can be easily scalable to a large number of channels and has been built in ceramics material for a better vacuum compatibility and temperature homogeneity in germanium crystal. The demonstrator performance has been simulated with a complete simulation chain based on Allpix Square framework and SolidStateDetector software. First simulation and experimental results of the new demonstrator are reported.
