Abstract

Abstract A method of correcting for the pulse height defect of fissions fragments in silicon surface barrier detectors is described. Loss of energy in the gold window and by elastic collisions in the silicon are considered as well as loss of pulse height from incompleted charge collection in the detector. The method gives identical results for the degraded energies of fession fragments passing through a given amount of gas when the total defects of the detectors used differ by 15 MeV.
