Description

A computer code has been developed for computational gamma spectra analysis to calculate the contribution of the partial absorption events of the gamma rays (Compton effect) in the active and non-active regions of a germanium detector previously calibrated. The resulting total absorption spectrum is then converted to fluence distribution in function of the energy for the photons reaching the detector, which is then used to calculate the exposure rate or kerma in air in function of the energy.
