Abstract

Progress in the development of a PASS granule detector is reported. Arrays with small tin spheres, with radius r⋍2µm, have been fabricated. The responses of tin PASS samples, with r⋍2 µm and r=8 µm, to low energy γ-radiation have been measured and analyzed. Also the performance of a multilayer PASS has been investigated.
