We report the results of first studies of the small resistive Well radiation detector (https://indico.inp.nsk.su/event/20/session/9/contribution/205/material/poster/0.pdf) based on the Well Electron Multiplier with the DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) anode. The DLC film covers the printed circuit mesh surrounding a group of holes. The prototype built with this technology provides fast, 200 ns, evacuation of electrons from the resistive layer with surface resistivity of 25 MOhm/square. As shown with 55Fe X-ray source, the detector with the mesh surrounding each hole withstands 0.5 millions discharges at the gas gain of 32,000 without damage to materials and functionality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
