Résumé en anglais

Solar cells have been used since several decades for the detection of fission fragments at about 1 AMeV. The advantages of solar cells regarding their cost (few euros) and radiation damage resistance make them an interesting candidate for heavy ion detection and an appealing alternative to silicon detectors. A first exploratory measurement of the response of solar cells to heavy ions at energies above 1 AMeV has been performed at the GANIL facility, Caen, France. Such measurements were performed with 84 Kr and 129 Xe beams ranging from 7 to 13 AMeV. The energy and time response of several types of solar cells were studied. The best performance was observed for cells of 10x10 mm 2 , with an energy and time resolution of σ (E)/E=1.4% and 3.6 ns (FWHM), respectively. Irradiations at rates from a few hundred to 10 6 particles per second were also performed to investigate the behavior of the cells with increasing intensity.< Réduire
