Abstract As well known, High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors have a wide range of
applications in every area where radiation detection and measurements are involved. One …

A study of signals originating near the lithium-diffused n+ contact of p-type point contact
(PPC) high purity germanium detectors (HPGe) is presented. The transition region between …

This paper reports on the procedure of the BEGe detector characterization for the Monte
Carlo calibrations. A project is under way to improve the counting and operating capabilities …

A model of an n-type ORTEC GMX45 HPGe detector was created using the MCNPX and the
MCNP-CP codes. In order to validate the model, experimental efficiency was compared with …

We describe the development of an automated, user-friendly programme which, making use
of the GESPECOR gamma spectrometry software to conduct Monte Carlo simulations, yields …

We report on the efficiency calibration of a HPGe x-ray detector using radioactive sources
and an analytical expression taken from the literature, in two different arrangements, with …

This study reports on the computational analysis and experimental calibration of the whole-
body counting detection equipment at the Nuclear and Technological Institute (ITN) in …

Abstract γ‐Ray spectrometry is a powerful nondestructive multielemental analysis technique.
Its quantitative application requires efficiency calibration. Among the methods available for …

This study presents a numerical method in order to determine the mass attenuation
coefficient of a sample with an unknown chemical composition at low energy. It is compared …

Two low-background setups for material screening based on HPGe detectors were built in
the Garching Underground Laboratory with an overburden of~ 10 mwe They include several …
