Absolute efficiency calibration of a coaxial HPGe detector for quantitative PGAA and T-PGAA

Abstract

Following international guidelines by the IEEE and a well-established calibration procedure developed at the Hungarian Institute of Isotopes in Budapest, the experimental absolute efficiency calibration of an Ortec n-type coaxial high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector (GMX Profile series) has been performed, in view of direct application to quantitative PGAA and T-PGAA investigations of Cultural Heritage multicomponent manufacts.
