Description

The basic processes in solid-state radiation detectors, with main emphasis on their influence on energy resolution, are overviewed. We discuss the statistics of the number of electron-hole pairs, scintillation light yield dependent on the incident energy of #gamma# rays, and the energy transfer process in scintillators that have dopants as luminescence centers. These processes are discussed in relation with the initial processes in radiation chemistry. (author)
