Aa. Maltsev et Ma. Maltsev, PROCEDURE FOR MEASURING THE SENSITIVITY OF PRECISION DETECTORS OF VISIBLE AND INFRARED SYNCHROTRON-RADIATION, Measurement techniques, 38(10), 1995, pp. 1194-1198
A procedure is described for measuring the total sensitivity of photod
etectors used in precision measurements of the number of low-energy (E
< 20 MeV) relativistic electrons from the intensity of their synchrot
ron radiation in the visible and infrared regions of the spectrum. The
calibration constants of two types of uncooled photodetectors (a lead
selenide photoresistor and a silicon photodiode) are measured and the
measurement errors are analyzed.
