The determination of functional relationship between point source efficiency and its space position for an HPGe detector
MCNP code was used to simulate the detection efficiencies for different γ-ray energies at different source positions.The widely used expression on radial variation of HPGe detector’s γ-ray efficiency for point source proposed by Masayasu et al.[1] was amended and a new expression was proposed.A comparison between calculated and measured results indicates that the newly extracted expression brings about an obvious improvement.The expression in this work and the MCNP simulation method are both conducive to the study on HPGe detector’s γ-ray efficiency measurement and calculation for bulky sources.
