THE FABRICATION AND USE OF HIGH RESOLUTION LITHIUM-DRIFTED GERMANIUM GAMMA-RAY DETECTORS,

Abstract

Experiments designed to study the behavior of various Ge(Li) detector systems are described. Techniques of improving energy resolution are discussed. Measurements of detector response to thermal radiation are described. A series of measurements showing the variation of line width as a function of energy is discussed. Finally, the appearance of anomolous peaks in the pulse height spectra is described. (Author)
