Abstract
The energy resolution of high-purity Ge detectors depends on the dislocation density and distribution in the single crystal. This correlation could be shown in a number of planar detectors with different dislocation densities. Scanning with collimated electrons and gamma-rays revealed the strong dependence of local detector performance on dislocation density.Keywords
