Materials for Radiation Detection
Abstract
The report surveys the available information (complete through 1971) on detectors for the electromagnetic radiation spectrum in the wavelength range 10 to the minus 10th power to 1 cm. The detectors are divided according to wavelength range into four groups: (1) sensors for x-rays and gamma-rays; (2) sensors for ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared radiation; (3) detectors for infrared radiation from 2 to 200 micrometers; (4) detectors for far-infrared and millimeter wave radiation. Conclusions and recommendations are made for (a) fundamental studies, (b) research on specific materials with definite applications, and (c) the establishment of two groups for continuing review and further study of specific problems.
