ABSTRACTWe describe the theory of operation, design, and estimated performance of an n-channel JFET designed to be operated as a detector in an X-ray spectrometer system. We estimate that a room temperature (300 K) JFET detector can be built with performance comparable to a small area, cryogenically cooled Si(Li) detector.
