Abstract:
To avoid losses due to coincidence summing, the efficiency calibration of gamma-spectrometers is often carried out by means of radionuclides emitting only one photon during a single decay. Calibration with this kind of radionuclides has, however the disadvantage that the energy range of the gamma rays (46 keV
