Efficiency Calibration of a HPGe Detector and Environmental Samples Measurement of Self-Absorption Correction Factors [PDF]
Gamma spectroscopy was performed on Marinelli beaker standards containing soil with different densities of ρ = 1 to 1.5 gr cm-3 upon using a HPGe detector. The spectra were analyzed by a specific software and then the efficiency vs. energy was calculated

Study of Self-Absorption in Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy of Environmental Samples [PDF]
HPGe detector has been simulated by using MCNP code, and the detector response has been determined. Monte Carlo simulations have been performed for different elemental composition and density as environmental Marinelli samples (z =10-90, ρ = 0.8-2 g/cm3).
