Calibration of HPGe–HPGe coincidence spectrometer through performing standardisation of 125I activity by X-ray-gamma coincidence spectrometry using two HPGe detectors [PDF]
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2018 Abstract An X-ray-gamma coincidence measurement method for efficiency calibration of a HPGe–HPGe system, using the methodology for activity standardisation of 125 I, has been developed. By taking one list-mode time-stamped measurement of the 125 I source, six spectra were generated in post-processing: total spectra, coincidence spectra and energy ...
