Description

Revision Standard – Inactive-Reserved. Terminology and standard test procedures are established for germanium gamma-ray detectors that are used for the detection and high-resolution spectrometry of gamma rays, X rays, and charged particles that produce hole-electron pairs in the crystal lattice so that these items have the same meaning to both manufacturers and users.
