Abstract
A method of measuring the energy of high-energy gamma-rays is described. It utilizes parallel capacitors as an effective energy multiplier of a pulser signal to compare unknown high-energy gamma-rays to well-known low-energy standards. This method has also provided an effective tool for measuring the linearity of the energy response of Ge(Li) detectors. This response was found to be linear to better than ±0.03% in the range 662 to 2614 keV and better than ±0.1% up to 6 MeV. As an example of this capacitor multiplying method the energy of the gamma ray from the 3 − excited level of 16O has been measured to be 6127.8±1.2 keV.
