Abstract A standard procedure for characterizing the high-purity germanium detector (HPGe), manufactured by Canberra Industries Inc [1], is performed directly company using patented methods. However, usually expensive and must be repeated because characteristics of HPGe crystal change over time. In this work, principles a technique are developed use in obtaining optimizing based on cost-effecti...

The neutrons emitted in heavy-ion fusion-evaporation (HIFE) reactions together with the gamma-rays cause unwanted backgrounds in gamma-ray spectra. Especially in the nuclear reactions, where relativistic ion beams (RIBs) are used, these neutrons are serious problem. They have to be rejected in order to obtain clearer gamma-ray peaks. In this study, the radiation energy and three criteria which ...

The detection and identification of radiation sources at distances in the range of 15 meters or more is becoming increasingly important for illicit materials interdiction and the location of lost or orphan sources. In most locations, there is a considerable gamma-ray flux from natural background (NORM) and cosmic-induced nuclides. This gamma-ray flux varies with time, weather conditions, locati...

This paper reports the reliability of efficiency calibrations for gamma-ray detectors using the calculation codes ANGLE and LabSOCS. For experimental verification, three HPGe detectors under various laboratory geometry configurations were used for this study. An overall comparison between experimental and calculated efficiency calibration curves is presented and comments on the various error so...

wheat is a staple food in pakistan. production of wheat is increased with extensive use of phosphate based fertilizers in agricultural fields. activity mass concentration of primordial radionuclides due to use of phosphate fertilizers in soil enhances the external gamma dose and due to the consumption of wheat food grown on these soils also increases the internal dose. different types of soil, ...
