AI-Ge Gamma-ray Spectrometry using Germanium Semiconductor Detector (No.7)
A germanium semiconductor detector is superior to a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector in energy resolution, and allows for measurement of multiple kinds of γ-emitting nuclides at the same time. This manual describes relevant measurement apparatuses and spectral analysis method.
In the 4th revised edition, several additions were made taking into account technological advancement and other changes. These additions include a technique to device peak efficiency using a numerical model such as a Monte Carlo simulation, evaluation of uncertainty of measurement pertaining to quality assurance, and calculation of lower limit of detection based on the technique described in ISO 11929.
