RESEARCH INVESTIGATION OF P-I-N ELECTRON JUNCTION DETECTORS

Abstract

The operation of a spherical lithium-drifted p-i-n detector as a photon counter was examined. When the depletion width is about 2 mm, the efficiency for counting Co60 photons is 6%. The detector is quite symmetrical when used as a 4 pi counter for these photons.
