Abstract

An internal conversion electron spectrometer with high energy resolution has been constructed by using a windowless Si(Li) detector. After its characteristics were examined fundamentally, it was applied to determine the240Pu to239Pu isotope ratio. As a result, the energy resolution realized was demonstrated to be satisfactory.
