Abstract

The properties of detectors based on epitaxial layers of silicon carbide (SiC) are presented. It is shown that the developed detectors have good spectrometric characteristics when detecting a particles with energies of up to 8 MeV. The pulse height defect was measured in SiC detectors under irradiation by accelerated xenon ions with different energies. It is shown that this parameter in the spectroscopic analysis of Xe ions is ∼45% of the true energy of the particles in question.
