Plutonium gamma-ray data analysis using MGA in the two-detector mode can provide information more refined than the gamma-ray analysis using MGA in the one-detector mode. Prior to the introduction of the new type of ORTEC coaxial detector, which has good resolution at 100-keV region and good efficiency at 1 MeV, the two-detector mode of the MGA could be used only with two separate HPGe detectors with appropriate characteristics. A recent study by us using small plutonium standards (less than 0.5g) suggests that this new detector indeed performed as well as combination of a high-resolution planar (''LEPS'') detector and a coaxial detector together. In this study, the CBNM plutonium gamma-ray standards were used to test this detector's ability with MGA, when measuring several grams of plutonium.
