Abstract :
The design and characteristics of the spectrometer for beta-particles and conversional electrons in the energy range from 15 to 3000 keV and X-ray radiation from 2 to 60 keV are presented. Radiation registration is executed by SiLi detector with sensitive area of 500 mm2 and thickness of 4.5 mm. The energy resolution for conversional electrons with energy 624 keV were found to be 2.0 keV and X-ray with energy 5.9 keV were found to be 280 eV.
