Abstract
Mercuric iodide is semiconductor detector material which operates at room temperature, has high detection efficiency, and exhibits good energy resolution over the range 5 keV-5 MeV. In addition, the low power requirements and radiation damage resistance of this material make it well suited for long duration space measurements in a mixed radiation environment.
