Measurement of the component of the Ge-detector response function due to escape of secondary radiation

A method of measuring the component of the detector response function due to the escape of secondary photons and electrons from the detector active volume has been investigated. It is based on the use of two detectors that operate in coincidence. The requirement of simultaneity of recorded events in the detectors and the condition of constant energy sum eliminate almost entirely all other components of the detector response function. Results of...
