LITHIUM ION DRIFT SEMICONDUCTOR DETECTOR AS A BETA-RAY SPECTROMETER

Response curves are given for silicon p-n junction and lithium ion drift sensiconductor detectors to monoenergetic electrons. The problems involved with the lithium drift detector are discussed: poor resolution at less than maxi-mum depletion, an intermediate peak for high-energy electrons, and insensitive surface layers. The advantages of the lithium drift detector are reliability and low background. (D.L.C.)
