Alpha particle radiation sensor. A silicon diode radiation sensor is used to check the radioactive
source in a smoke detector. According to the label, the source is given as 1 music. The source is
Ain-241 with an energy of 486 times 10^6 e V and an activity of 195 times 10^10 B q. The
energy needed to generate an electron-hole pair is 61 e V. The diode is connected to an inverse
potential of 12 V, has a thickness of 0.5 mm, and the mobility's are 450 cm^2/V s for holes and
1350 cm^2/V s for electrons. The radiation from Ain-241 is mostly a particles that penetrate very
little into the silicon and hence may be assumed to be absorbed at the surface of the diode For
this reason the junction is exposed directly so radiation does not pass through the electrodes.
What is the current through the diode if all particles emitted are trapped by the diode?
Solution
Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their
production in standard alpharadioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of
about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light. (See discussion below for
the limits of these figures in alpha decay.) They are a highly ionizing form of particle radiation,
and (when resulting from radioactive alpha decay) have low penetration depth. They are able to
be stopped by a few centimeters of air, or by the skin. However, so-called long range alpha
particles from ternary fission are three times as energetic, and penetrate three times as far. As
noted, the helium nuclei that form 10–12% of cosmic rays are also usually of much higher
energy than those produced by nuclear decay processes, and are thus capable of being highly
penetrating and able to traverse the human body and also many meters of dense solid shielding,
depending on their energy. To a lesser extent, this is also true of very high-energy helium nuclei
produced by particle accelerators.

Alpha particle radiation sensor. A silicon diode radiation sensor is .pdf

  • 1. Alpha particle radiation sensor. A silicon diode radiation sensor is used to check the radioactive source in a smoke detector. According to the label, the source is given as 1 music. The source is Ain-241 with an energy of 486 times 10^6 e V and an activity of 195 times 10^10 B q. The energy needed to generate an electron-hole pair is 61 e V. The diode is connected to an inverse potential of 12 V, has a thickness of 0.5 mm, and the mobility's are 450 cm^2/V s for holes and 1350 cm^2/V s for electrons. The radiation from Ain-241 is mostly a particles that penetrate very little into the silicon and hence may be assumed to be absorbed at the surface of the diode For this reason the junction is exposed directly so radiation does not pass through the electrodes. What is the current through the diode if all particles emitted are trapped by the diode? Solution Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpharadioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light. (See discussion below for the limits of these figures in alpha decay.) They are a highly ionizing form of particle radiation, and (when resulting from radioactive alpha decay) have low penetration depth. They are able to be stopped by a few centimeters of air, or by the skin. However, so-called long range alpha particles from ternary fission are three times as energetic, and penetrate three times as far. As noted, the helium nuclei that form 10–12% of cosmic rays are also usually of much higher energy than those produced by nuclear decay processes, and are thus capable of being highly penetrating and able to traverse the human body and also many meters of dense solid shielding, depending on their energy. To a lesser extent, this is also true of very high-energy helium nuclei produced by particle accelerators.
