Measurement of the low-energy quenching factor in germanium using an ${}^{88}$Y/Be photoneutron source

B. J. Scholz, A. E. Chavarria, J. I. Collar +2

We employ an ${}^{88}$Y/Be photoneutron source to derive the quenching factor for neutron-induced nuclear recoils in germanium, probing recoil energies from a few hundred eV${}_{nr}$ t…
