The signal rise-times measured as a function of the gamma-ray interaction positions, in both coaxial and planar regions of the detection volume, are presented and confronted with the expected behaviour obtained via MGS. The transition in charge carrier transport behaviour as a function of the depth is studied for the region of the complex electric field. In general, a fairly good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained. Only systematic deviations between simulation and measurement are observed in the critical front part of the AGATA detector. They may be ascribed to a non-linear impurity concentration profile of the germanium crystal.", optnote="WOS:000312811400003", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1283), last updated on Thu, 24 Jan 2013 11:10:13 +0000", issn="0168-9002", doi="10.1016/j.nima.2012.10.028", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2012.10.028", language="English" }
