| 摘要 |
An apparatus for the indirect cooling of a silicon drift detector (SDD) includes an enclosure with a vacuum maintained therein, at least one SDD module that generates substantially no heat positioned within the enclosure, a cooling engine positioned remote from the SDD module within the enclosure for cooling the SDD module, whereby heat is generated by the cooling engine, a thermal conduction device comprising a first end thermally coupled to the cooling engine and a second end thermally coupled to the SDD module and a heat removal device thermally coupled to the cooling engine. The cooling engine indirectly cools the SDD module by transferring thermal energy through the thermal conduction device from the SDD module and the heat removal device dissipates the heat generated by the cooling engine to the environment surrounding the enclosure. A method for indirectly cooling a radiation detector is also provided.
