T. Tikkanen et al., CHARACTERIZING A SI(LI) DETECTOR ELEMENT FOR THE SIXA X-RAY SPECTROMETER, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 390(3), 1997, pp. 329-335
The detection efficiency and response function of a Si(Li) detector el
ement for the SIXA spectrometer have been determined in the 500 eV to
5 keV energy range using synchrotron radiation emitted at a bending ma
gnet of the electron storage ring BESSY, which is a primary radiation
standard. The agreement between the measured spectrum and the model ca
lculation is better than 2%.
