#AthenaNuggets: A DEPFET detector for Athena’s Wide Field Imager (WFI) Instrument
The Athena/WFI will be a very powerful survey instrument providing unprecedented simultaneous high time resolution, low-noise performance and high detection efficiency thanks to the use of active pixel sensors of DEPFET (Depleted P-channel field effect transistor) type.
In the #AthenaNuggets 29, Norbert Meidinger, the project manager of WFI, explains the relevant details of DEPFET technology in the WFI instrument.
