Abstract

The absolute total and full-energy peak (FEP) efficiencies of a high purity germanium (HPGe) photon detector are measured in the energy range from 40 keV to 1500 keV. The functional parameters are fitted to the calibration points from 14 long-lived standard sources (¹²⁹I,²⁴¹Am,¹⁰⁹Cd,⁵⁷Co,¹³⁹Ce,¹³⁷Cs,⁵⁴Mn,⁶⁵Zn,⁶⁰Co,²²Na,¹³³Ba,¹⁵²Eu,¹⁵⁴Eu and^166mHo) within an accuracy better than the quoted uncertainty of the calibration sources. The efficiencies in far and close geometries are compared.
