Description
Summary:This paper describes the fabrication procedure and some properties of thin-window lithium-compensated germanium nuclear-particle detectors. Their response to various nuclear particles is illustrated with typical spectra. In addition, some data on collection times in germanium and silicon detectors are presented along with a description of experiments concerning the relative energies to form an electron-hole pair in silicon and germanium at liquid-nitrogen temperature. Finally, the relative response of germanium and silicon detectors to fast neutrons is compared.
