Recent Advances in Development of Mercuric Iodide Radiation Detectors
Abstract
The performance of mercuric iodide radiation detectors has improved during the past two years to the point where they can be generally applied in instruments for the measurement and spectral analysis of nuclear radiation. This is due to systematic optimization of the processes to prepare the material and to fabricate the detectors. This paper will review these accomplishments in terms of spectral resolution, long-term stability and elevated temperature results. New detector arrangements and electronic systems, which have been developed to match the properties of the detectors, will be described.
