Title: Accurate Characterization of the Shape of the HPGe Detector Peak Efficiency Curve for Application in PGNAA

Conference ·
OSTI ID:786213

Measurements in prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) typically have errors of the order of {+-}2 to 3%. A method is described that can yield a lower limit on the uncertainty in relative efficiencies applied to PGNAA of about {+-}0.1%.
