GAMMA-RAY SPECTRUM OBTAINED WITH A LITHIUM-DRIFTED p-i-n JUNCTION IN GERMANIUM
The pulse-height spectrum from a lithium-drifted p-i-n junction in germanium due to 663-kev gamma rays from cesium-137 is presented. The photopeak exhibits a line width of 21 kev giving a resolution of 3.2 per cent. The height of the photopeak is about one-third that of the edge of the Compton distribution. The ratio of the pulse heights at the photopeak and the point half-way up the Compton edge differed from the theoretical value by less than 4 per cent. (N.W.R.)
