Abstract
We report on the current status of our efforts to use the atomic-field bremsstrahlung spectrum from the bombardment of thin-film targets by an electron beam to measure the photon energy dependence of the efficiency of HPGe and Si(Li) detectors. Results are presented for an HPGe detector from 15 to 100 keV and for an Si(Li) detector from 2 to 40 keV. Points on the efficiency curve are also obtained using calibrated radioactive sources for comparison and for absolute normalization. Problems associated with the background in bremsstrahlung measurements are also discussed.
