  • Abstract
    New experimental data is presented which displays 137Cs resolution of both single Si(Li) devices and a detector stack 2 cm in height as a function of temperature (85 K⩽T⩽245 K). We also discuss variations in photopeak shape which indicate that detector charge collection may be temperature dependent over the range of interest
