Characterization of the Segmented Broad Energy Germanium detector — •Heng-Ye Liao for the GeDet collaboration — Föhringer Ring 6 80805 München

Broad energy germanium detectors (BEGe) are used in neutrinoless double beta-decay and dark matter searches. They have excellent energy resolution and pulse shape discrimination performance. Detector segmentation can provide additional spatial information, useful to efficiently disentangle different event topologies. A novel BEGe detector with 4-fold segmentation design has been built. Results of the first measurements performed with this new type of detector will be presented.
