Abstract

A procedure is described for measuring the total sensitivity of photodetectors used in precision measurements of the number of low-energy (E<20 MeV) relativistic electrons from the intensity of their synchrotron 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.
