This is an old revision of the document!
X-rays of interest are 9-70 keV. It is also desirable be able to use an 55Fe source (5.9 keV) for testing purposes. We want to maximize the number of x-rays detected in the previously mentioned range while minimizing background from charged particles and high energy gamma rays. We also have to be able to distinguish between k-alpha x-rays for nuclides with Z and Z+1 where Z >= 28 which corresponds to about 550 eV.

We couldn’t find any detectors which match the energy resolution of LEGE and U-LEGE at low energies. The best we found was ORTEC’s GLP series, shown below. We haven't gotten about the dead layer for the GLP series, so don't know if it's better or worse than LEGe.
