Calculation of relative full-energy peak efficiencies of well-type detectors

Creators

Description

A mathematical expression to calculate the full-energy peak efficiency of HPGe well-type detectors has been derived in an integral form. The attenuation of photons by the source itself (self-absorption), the source container and the detector end cap materials is also included. The calculated values of the efficiency are found to be in good agreement with the published experimental data
