Calculation of coincidence summing corrections for X-ray peaks and for sum peaks with X-ray contributions

Appl Radiat Isot. 2006 Oct-Nov;64(10-11):1297-302. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2006.02.051. Epub 2006 May 5.

Abstract

In this paper, features of the gamma-ray spectra in the presence of important contributions of X-rays to coincidence summing effects are studied. The experimental results concerning the sum peaks with various X-ray combinations as well as the Ge X-ray escape peaks present in the spectrum of a 133Ba point source measured with an n-type detector are in good agreement with the values computed using the GESPECOR software.
