Description

An HPGe detector equipped with a transistor reset preamplifier and readout with a CAEN DT5781 fast pulse digitizer was employed in the measurement of X-rays from kaonic lead at the DA𝛷NE 𝑒+𝑒− collider at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of INFN.
We will present results which show that the resolution of the HPGe detector in regular beam conditions remains the same as that without the beam and that a satisfactory background reduction can be achieved.
This feasibility measurement serves as a test bed for future dedicated measurements of kaonic X-rays with an HPGe detector from heavy targets.
