Characterization of the VEGA ASIC coupled to large area position-sensitive Silicon Drift Detectors

Characterization of the VEGA ASIC coupled to large area position-sensitive Silicon Drift Detectors

Low-noise, position-sensitive Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) are particularly useful for experiments in which a good energy resolution combined with a large sensitive area is required, as in the case of X-ray astronomy space missions and medical applications. This paper presents the experimental characterization of VEGA, a custom Application Specific Integrated …
