Description

The performances of large volume (about 350 cm3 and relative efficiency greater than 75%) p-type HPGe detectors are reported. The response function to γ-rays up to 11.67 MeV, the energy dependence of the full energy detection efficiency and the timing properties have been measured. A comparison with the performances of a standard 25% n-type HPGe detector is presented. (orig.)
