  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the development and the realisation of an encapsulated Ge detector. The properties of a first prototype detector are; relative efficiency εrel = 21.4%; energy resolution: ΔEγ(1.33MeV) = 2.10 keV and ΔEγ(122 keV) = 1.10 keV. The encapsulation technology offers advantages; several encapsulated Ge detectors can be mounted closely packed in a cryostat, all electronic parts of the first preamplifier stage are accessible and induced radiation damage of the Ge crystal can be annealed in a standard furnace.
