Description

The X-PIPS™ Detector is a suite of spectroscopy subsystem products sensitive to X-rays and low-energy gamma rays. The Mirion silicon drift detector uses proprietary PIPS® technology.

This X-PIPS Detector is comprised of a hermetically sealed hexagonal silicon drift detector element with a low noise CMOS and a Peltier cooler. It has an internal multilayer collimator for an improved peak-to-background ratio.

This product range is intended to be integrated in multi-element arrays used mainly in synchrotrons. Mirion develops designs, manufactures and assembles everything in house, which has made Mirion the select partner for industrial clients.
