Influence of dead layer on the response function of planar and coaxial Ge detector using Monte Carlo method [PDF]
Germanium crystals have a dead layer that causes a decrease in efficiency since the layer is not useful for detection but strongly attenuates photons. The thickness of this inactive layer is not well known due to the existence of a transition zone where ...
