Detection of 1.5 to 60 KeV X-ray with semiconductor detectors
Description
This paper presents semiconductor detectors for X-ray energy measurements. The characteristics and applications of silicon and germanium detectors have been contrasted. The fabrication and properties of detectors for X-ray fluorescence analysis are briefed, also the factors which infuence the efficiency of semiconductor detectors are pointed. Using those detectors, 1.5 to 60 KeV X-ray or low energy γ-ray have been measured. For X-ray above 5 KeV, the measurement efficiency is calibrated with 241Am source and for that below 5 KeV the window attenuation measurements with glass fluorescence sources are described. Obtained results are compared with other corresponding published data
