Conclusions
The measurements have shown that a BGO crystal with a diameter of 5 cm can be used to build relatively compact, highly efficient spectrometers for electrons and γ quanta; the resolution is 15–5% for energies of 0.5–6 MeV and ∼40% for 20–100 MeV; the characteristic of the spectrometer is linear in this entire range.
