A method for the determination of counting efficiencies in gamma-spectrometric measurements with HPGe detectors

In this paper a general method for y-ray efficiency calibration is presented. The method takes into account the differences of densities and counting geometry between the real sample and the calibration sample. It is based on the y-transmission method and gives the correction factorf as a function o...

Sumario:In this paper a general method for y-ray efficiency calibration is presented. The method takes into account the differences of densities and counting geometry between the real sample and the calibration sample. It is based on the y-transmission method and gives the correction factorf as a function of Ey, the density and counting geometry. Altough developed for soil samples, its underlying working philosophy is useful for any sample whose geometry can be adequately reproduced.
