JSC
"Research Institute of Materials Science" has manufactured silicon
detectors for all recording systems of NUCLEON equipment by original technology;
this includes pad detectors for the charge measurement system, as well as strip
detectors for the energy measurement system and microcalorimeter. The original
manufacturing technology allowed reaching record levels of dark currents of
these detectors - less than 4 nA / cm2, which, in particular, provides a low
level of noise in recording systems. In total, more than 7m2 detectors (more
than 800 detectors) were manufactured.
