  • Abstract
    Lithium-drifted germanium detectors have been fabricated in the form of a cylindrical annulus. The forming of the annular shape was made feasible by using a spark cutting machine. The annular shape, being highly symmetrical, permits standardization of the techniques of gamma spectroscopy.
