Coincidence summing corrections in HPGe gamma-ray spectrometry for Marinelli-beakers geometry using peak to total (P/T) calibration

ETNA (Efficiency Transfer for Nuclide Activity measurements) Software for efficiency transfer and coincidence summing corrections in gamma-ray spectrometry

Radioactivity 6- Radiochemistry The Counting Room: Special Edition

programs. 1 General coincidence summing problems and specific coincidence summing problems encountered when measuring these two radionuclides on filter papers were discussed in the last issue? In order to perform accurate measurements of 134CS and 60Co in liquid samples using Marinelli beakers, coincidence summing effects should be investigated. Liquid samples of 134Cs and 60Co were prepared in...

Determination of Primordial Radionuclides in Natural Samples Using HPGe Gamma-Ray Spectrometry

Distributions of primordial radionuclides in soil and vegetables were investigated using high-purity germanium gamma-ray spectrometry. Gamma-ray spectrometry is one of the most accepted and widely used techniques for the detection and analysis of radioactive materials for a wide range of activity. Important properties of the employed gamma-ray detector were also determined to ensure the accurac...

Complex Gamma Ray Spectra Analysis

The gamma ray spectrometry laboratory of the University of Bucharest was designed for the analysis of low-level radioactivity samples. High efficiency shielded HPGe detectors are used. Efficiency calibration is achieved by complementing experimental calibration with Monte Carlo computation carried out using GESPECOR, also applied for the evaluation of coincidence summing corrections. Low detect...
