Matrix formalism and singular value decomposition for the location of gamma interactions in segmented HPGe detectors
Modern coaxial and planar HPGe detectors allow a precise determination of the energies and trajectories of the impinging gamma-rays. This entails the location of the gamma interactions inside the crystal from the shape of the delivered signals. This paper reviews the state of the art of the analysis of the HPGe response function and proposes methods that lead to optimum signal decomposition. Th...
متن کاملEfficiency Loss in HPGe Detectors due to Beta and Gamma Sum Coincidence
Among the secondary detection effects in gamma-ray spectroscopy with HPGe detectors that reduce the peak area and must be properly taken into account in accurate measurements, the less well known is counting loss by beta and gamma-ray sum coincidence. The fraction of lost counts was estimated assuming that a photon detection event can sum either with the coincident beta-ray or its bremsstrahlun...
متن کاملSurface projection of HPGe- detectors
Several encapsulated single Germanium detectors have been mounted in one unit and integrated in a cryostat, in order to build efficient spectrometers to detect γ radiation emitted by nuclei excited in nuclear reactions. This kind of crystal encapsulation offer advantages compared to standard set-up of HPGedetectors. The basic aim of the following work is to develop a new capsule technology, in ...
متن کاملFast analytical methods for the correction of signal random time-shifts and application to segmented HPGe detectors
Detection systems rely more and more on on-line or off-line comparison of detected signals with basis signals in order to determine the characteristics of the impinging particles. Unfortunately, these comparisons are very sensitive to the random time shifts that may alter the signal delivered by the detectors. We present two fast algebraic methods to determine the value of the time shift and to...
متن کاملPrecision measurement of radioactivity in gamma-rays spectrometry using two HPGe detectors (BEGe-6530 and GC0818-7600SL models) comparison techniques: Application to the soil measurement
To obtain high quality of results in gamma spectrometry, it is necessary to select the best HPGe detector for particular measurements, to calibrate energy and efficiency of gamma detector as accurate as possible. To achieve this aim, the convenient detector model and gamma source can be very useful. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the soil specific activity using two HPGe model (BEGe-...
