A telescope for α-particle spectrometry

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

An alpha spectrometer based on a telescope consisting of two silicon semiconductor surface barrier detectors is described. The spectrometer has been used to study the α-particle energy spectra of an (n,α)-type reaction and ternary fission of uranium in an energy range 4–30 MeV with a resolution of 85 keV.
