A semiempirical approach for the determination of HPGe detector photopeak efficiency aiming at k0-INAA

Description

The experimental work involved the efficiency determination of three coaxial hyperpure Ge detectors, using point-like sources placed at various distances from the top cover of the detectors. Curves were fitted to the experimental dta and a microcomputer routine was developed to calculate the efficiencies of cylindrical sources, including self-attenuation correction. Tested at various source and distance conditions, the procedure showed results sufficiently consistent for routine k0-INAA. (author)
