A measurement of the ionization efficiency of nuclear recoils in silicon
F. Izraelevitch, D. Amidei, A. Aprahamian +26
We have measured the ionization efficiency of silicon nuclear recoils with kinetic energy between 1.8 and 20 keV. We bombarded a silicon-drift diode with a neutron beam to perform…
