Abstract :
A description is given of a high-purity 7-cm/sup 2/ germanium detector used as a particle detector for proton energy measurements from an annular polyethylene radiator. The spectrometer system has been developed for neutron measurements to detect the 14-MeV DT reaction. The electrical and radiation performance of the detector is described, as is the method of construction of the experimental single-stage assembly.<>
