Abstract

A method for calibrating an ionizing radiation detector, with the aim of determining a correction factor in order to establish an amplitude-energy correspondence. The invention first relates to a method for calibrating a device for detecting ionizing radiation, the detector comprising a semiconductor or scintillator detection material capable of generating a signal S of amplitude A upon interaction between ionizing radiation and the detection material, the method including the determination of a weighting factor at the amplitude A.
