Gamma Scanning with a Lithium-Drifted Germanium Anticoincidence Spectrometer

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/12683203· OSTI ID:12683203
Despite the presence of a large number of ganrma rays in gross fission products, the rather poor energy resolution of NaI detectors has limited the application of gamma scanning to the more prominent fission products. The advent of lithium-drifted germanium semiconductors makes it possible to perform more comprehensive analyses on these complex spectra. The high energy resolution of these detectors makes them attractive, despite their low efficiency.
