Abstract
The pulse height response for α particles incident upon Au n‐type CdTe surface barrier counters has been investigated. The energy required to form an electron‐hole pair in this material, by comparison with the specific energy loss per pair in silicon detectors, was found to be 4.46 eV at 300°K and 4.75 eV at 77°K.Keywords
