description

Abstract A simple d E d x+E type semiconductor detector telescope electron spectrometer featuring high detection efficiency and effective discrimination against γ-rays and heavy particles is described. The line shape of the spectrometer is better than that of a single detector of corresponding size; at 1 MeV, the peak-to-total ratio is approximately 0.8. The device is suited to the study of beta-ray spectra and conversion electron lines at energies above about 0.4 MeV.
