The pair creation energy,ω and the Fano factor of silicon were measured using a CCD sensor and X-rays from
an 55Fe source. The measurements were performed at a sensor temperature of 185K. The pair creation energy
was measured for X-rays in the 1.7-6.5 keV range. The measured pair creation energy is ω = (3:650 ± 0:009) eV
at the Mn Kα line energy. The Fano factor at this energy is F = 0:128±0:001. The agreement with theory and
previous measurements is satisfactory. The system gain was obtained from at field exposures using the Poisson
distribution properties. These results and the details of our measurement procedure are presented below.
