High purity germanium detector in gamma-ray spectrometry
We measured full energy peak efficiency of High-Purity Germanium detector which is important for gamma-ray spectrometry experiments. A brief but very effective description on the basic formation of detector crystal and creation of signal pulse has been presented here. This article is furnished in such a way that the contents find useful and interesting to physics and electronics students, educa...
متن کاملThe Best Choice of High Purity Germanium (HPGe) Detector
below and are based on some basic concepts about how the detection process works, how gamma rays penetrate materials, and the principles of gamma-ray spectroscopy. Unresolved choice issues can be reduced to a level where they have little or no impact on the resultant performance of the spectrometry system. This document explains how you can easily make a wise, well-informed choice. We assume yo...
متن کاملPerformance of a Low-Background High Purity Germanium Detector with a Novel EndCap
Low background HPGe detectors have been used for many years in the measurement of low activities of radionuclides in various materials. With the increased importance of nuclear forensics, low background detectors are in increasing demand. The endcap and other materials used in low background detector construction must be selected to have the lowest activity possible. In some cases, the material...
متن کاملEnhanced Standoff Detection Capability for SNM Using High Purity Germanium Detector Based Instrumentation
The difficulty of locating and identifying radiological sources over large areas is well known. The signal strength of a small-volume source diminishes according to the familiar “inverse square law” as the detector is moved away from the source. Ever-present fluctuating background levels exacerbate the problem when the source strength is weak compared to the background count rates from other so...
متن کاملDigital Timing Algorithm for High Purity Germanium Detectors
The next generation of γ-ray detector arrays will be composed of large volume high purity germanium (HPGE) detectors that are electronically segmented. These detectors will be able to track γ-rays as they Compton scatter within the crystal and between adjacent crystals, eliminating the need for Compton suppression detectors and improving angular resolution. The new arrays will have much higher ...
