Abstract
Pulse height spectra for alpha particles, fission fragments, and oxygen ions have been obtained for a thin-window surface-barrier Cd-Te detector. Although the detector can exhibit a large pulse-height defect and poorer resolution than Si detectors, it is still usable in many applications. In addition, the high stopping power of Cd-Te makes it suitable for simultaneous detection of energetic light and heavy ions, as well as γ rays, with a simple compact room-temperature detector.Keywords
