Homework Statement
Hi all,
I have been given the task of quantifying the energy resolution of a p-i-n semi-conductor x-ray detector and present it as a value in electron volts
Homework Equations
%Resolution=E FWHM / Ei
Where E FWHM is the full width half maximum of a peak and Ei is the centroid value of that peak[/B]
The Attempt at a Solution
I can calculate % Resolution no problem, but I need to relate it to an energy value. My detector is connected to a multi-channel analyzer that has 4000 channels. Say I have a calculated a %Resolution of 6% for a certain peak value. 6% of 4000 channels =240. I'm not sure where to go from here. The x-ray unit has an anode voltage of 35keV.
Any help would be appreciated
