[Ifeffit] Ifeffit Digest, Vol 81, Issue 7

The (Passivated Implanted Planar Silicon) PIPS detector that we purchase
for our beamlines is model: PD 3000-55-300-AB
AB is for BNC connector, if not specified they mail it with an AM (Axial
Microdot) connector.
PD is partially Depleted, 3000 mm square is the area of the detector.
55 KeV (FWHM) is the energy resolution for alpha particles, and 300 is
the thickness of Si in microns.

Dear Matt and Carlo
I was speaking about windows, sorry for the imprecision.
I tested today the file sent by Matt, on my computer all seems to work
fine
with Python 2.6.
Cheers
Carmelo

Dear,
I have encountered a problem when using IFEFFIT. As I double click the
Athena icon on the desktop, it prompted the following concent: Cannot
execute grwnd.exe to open the graphics window. How to resolve this
problem? Thank you!

Claudia,

The implementation of the XANES self-absorption corrections follows
the thing that Daniel Haskel wrote up here:

  http://www.aps.anl.gov/xfd/people/haskel/fluo.html

The algorithm used is explained on pages 5-9 of the postscript file on
that web page.  The angles are defined relative to the surface, not
the surface normal.

HTH,
B

PS: You should consider joining the Ifeffit mailing list:
(http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ifeffit).  It is a
very useful resource for siftware and for XAS in general.

Hi all,

A colleague at a company that, for some reason, blocks mail from this
mailing list asked me a question the other day that I don't have an
immediate answer for.  I told him I would pass his question along to
the list and forward him any answers.

He asks:

  I've looked over the Canberra website, but I am a little confused
  about what specifications I should go for.  To be absolutely honest,
  I have never seen a PIPs detector/chip in person as they have always
  has the Al/Mylar film attached.  Would you happen to have a
  specifications/model list for one of these devices (and the
  requisite type of BNC connector that I need)?  I would greatly
  appreciate any direction that you could offer.

Thanks,
B

Hi Bruce,

I have a few of the Canberra PIPS detectors. None of mine have a BNC  
connector, they have a microdot connector.

I use an adapter to convert to BNC, similar to these:
http://www.ortec-online.com/electronics/cables/adapters.htm

It has been a long time since I have read the spec sheet. Maybe, BNC  
is available as an option now. The spec sheet for the PIPS detectors  
can be found at the link below:
http://www.canberra.com/pdf/Products/Detectors_pdf/C36115-PIPS-SS.pdf
