Download or read book Nomographs for Use in the Fabrication and Testing of Ge (Li) Detectors written by Alvin H. Sher and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six nomographs which can facilitate the fabrication and testing of lithium-drifted germanium gamma-ray detectors (Ge(Li) detectors) have been constructed which relate the following parameters:time, temperature, applied bias, and drifted depth:lithium mobility, crystal resistivity, and oxygen concentration; area, capacitance, and drifted depth for planar Ge(Li) detectors; drifted depth, length, and capacitance for coaxial Ge(Li) detectors; total spectral resolution; system noise, and detector resolution; gamma-ray energy, and effective Fano factor.The use of these nomographs is described and illustrative examples are given.(Author).
