Abstract

Results of experimental research of the energy resolution of the X-ray spectrometer based on cooled Si(Li) detector against from the energy of the incident photons are presented. The experimental data on the energy resolution are compared to results of calculated data. The Fano factor of the detector and the noise of the electronics are determined. Analytical expression for description of the energy resolution of the spectrometer in the range from about 1 to about 100 keV is found.
