چکیده

Because of the major impact of the radioactive materials on the environment, their characterization methods have to be well defined, complete and agreed by the control bodies and the civil society. The paper presents measurements of certified etalon gamma emitting radiation sources, in order to perform the energy and the efficiency calibration of a new HPGe spectrometric system, and to determine different parameters, relevant for the validation of the results and of the measuring method.

Monte Carlo Determination of Full Energy Peak Efficiency for HPGe Detector and Self-Absorption Correction of Environmental Samples

The Monte Carlo method was used to determine full energy efficiency of a high-purity germanium (HPGe) coaxial detector within an energy range of 53.2-2614 keV. Also, measurement was carried out for a standard Marinelli beaker of 600cm3, which was placed into the reference material of mixed gamma. The plot of the experimentally derived effic...

تعیین لایه مرده‎ و بازده قله تمام - انرژی آشکارساز HPGe بااستفاده از کد MCNP و نتایج تجربی

One important factor in using an High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector is its efficiency that highly depends on the geometry and absorption factors, so that when the configuration of source-detector geometry is changed, the detector efficiency must be re-measured. The best way of determining the efficiency of a detector is measuring the efficiency of standard sources. But considering the fact t...
