Charge-carrier collective motion in germanium detectors for $$\beta \beta $$ β β -decay searches

Abstract The time analysis of the signal induced by the drift of charge carriers in high purity germanium detectors provides information on the event topology. Millions of charge carriers are produced in a typical event. Their initial distribution, stochastic diffusion and Coulomb self-repulsion aff...
