Zusammenfassung:A number of solid state particle detectors were procured and experimentally compared. Lithium ion drift detectors were studied with respect to ability to discriminate el ctrons of various energies. Variation of bias current with respect to temperature was measured over the range to be expected in space vehicle applications, and degradation was measured at high temperatures. Radiation damage studies were carried out, using 1 Mev electrons and 90 Mev protons.
