Abstract
The construction of an electron spectrometer using a 80 mm 2 × × 3 mm cooled Si(Li) detector has been described. The system resolutions (fwhm) for 115, 194 and 624 keV electrons were found to be 0.88, 1.06 and 1.50 keV, respectively. The resolution (fwhm) for 5.8 MeV α-particles was found to be 12.0 keV. The Si(Li) detector did not show any deterioration in performance after several warming and cooling cycles over a period of two years. The thickness of the Si dead layer on the detector face was estimated from the energy loss of low-energy electrons and was found to be 0.6 μm. The spectrometer described here can be used for the measurement of electron lines above 20 keV energy. Also because of its simple design the spectrometer can be used for α−e − and γ−e − coincidence experiments.
