  • Abstract
    We present results of room temperature and low-temperature X-ray measurements with 500 /spl mu/m anode pitch Multi-anode Linear and Sawtooth Silicon Drift Detectors. An analysis of the influence of split events due to the lateral spread of the drifting electron cloud, electronic noise and the general spectroscopic performance of the detectors is given. An energy resolution of 450 eV FWHM was determined for the 5.89 keV line of /sup 55/Fe at 233 K. Split events are completely eliminated.
