Description

The detection of the photopeak of the 662-keV γ ray of 137Cs with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of only 6.5 keV by a 0.5-mm-thick improved stoichiometry HgI2 crystal is reported. The 1173- and 1332-keV γ photopeaks of 60Co have also been resolved for the first time. Polarization effects were negligible
