The mean energy ε_∞ for electron-hole pair generation in silicon by α particles has been measured at different temperatures. For a given temperature, this value has been obtained by extrapolating to infinite collecting electric field the actual data at various finite fields. The experimental values are reported as a function of the forbidden energy gap, and compared with a theoretical expression due to Shockley.
