Abstract

The performance of the most extensively used semiconductor detectors has been investigated at cryogenic temperatures. An increase in the electric field inside a detector is shown to lead, in most cases, to restoration of its spectrometric properties. A conclusion is drawn that semiconductor detectors are applicable at temperatures of 1–77 K.
