Semiconductor detectors for spectroscopy of gamma-radiation

Key Points

• The gamma-radiation detectors achieved a registration efficiency of 2-3%, which is notable compared to traditional detectors.
• Energy resolution of the semiconductor detectors ranged from 25 to 31 keV, demonstrating acceptable performance.
• Sensitivity was measured at about 0.03 impulses per second per Bk, highlighting the detectors' potential applications.
• The use of lithium-compensated silicon in detectors is a novel approach that could enhance gamma-radiation detection methods.
