Abstract :
The energy response of a low-cost commercial silicon photodiodes detectors for alpha particles, fission fragments, internal conversion electrons and X-rays was studied. An alpha energy resolution of 16.7 keV (FWHM) was obtained for 5.486 MeV α-particles from 241Am which is comparable in performance with the best surface barrier detectors available, that are considerably more expensive.
