Description

In order to study the relationship between the counting efficiency and the point sources position. The Monte Carlo code (MCNP) has used to calculate the counting efficiency of HPGe detector for standard γ-ray point sources in different vertical distances. For the 152Eu, 60Co and 137Cs point sources, the efficiency function of HPGe detector and its parameters for point sources has been determined by fitting the calculate dates. (authors)
