Abstract
Laboratory models of surface-barrier and diffusion-type silicon n-p counters were developed which were suitable for nuclear spectrometry. The counters have linear pulse height-energy dependence for particles with 60 μ paths (in particular, for α-particles with energies up to 10 Mev), and ∼ 0.5 % resolution for an E of 5.5 Mev (with units of small area).
