Title: | Studies of the low-energy gamma background | Authors: | Bikit, Kristina Mrđa, Dušan Bikit I. Slivka, Jaroslav Vesković, Miroslav Knežević, Dejan |
Issue Date: | 1-Jan-2014 | Journal: | Physics Procedia | Abstract: | © 2014 The Authors. The investigations of contribution to the low-energy part of background gamma spectrum (below 100 keV) and knowing detection efficiency for this region are important for both, a fundamental, as well as for applied research. In this work, the components contributing to the low-energy region of background gamma spectrum for shielded detector are analyzed, including the production and spectral distribution of muon-induced continuous low-energy radiation in the vicinity of high-purity germanium detector. In addition, the detection efficiency for low energy gamma region is determined using the GEANT 4 simulation package. This technique offers excellent opportunity to predict the detection response in mentioned region. Unfortunately, the frequently weakly known dead layer thickness on the surface of the extended-range detector, as well as some processes which are not incorporated in simulation (e.g. charge collection from detector active volume) may limit the reliability of simulation technique. Thus, the 14, 17, 21, 26, 33, 59.5 keV transitions in the calibrated 241Am point source were used to check the simulated efficiencies. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/6821 | ISSN: | 18753884 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.phpro.2014.10.009 |
