Dead layer thickness and efficiency function of point source for HPGe detector
The efficiency matrix calculation of tomographic gamma scanning technique can be affected severely by HPGe crystal model used in the Monte Carlo simulation.With the producer-provided dead layer thickness
the calculated detector efficiency is up to 119% larger than the measured efficiency.By adjusting the dead layer thickness
the relative error could be minimized.A linear correlation between the dead layer thickness and the average relative error was established.With the corrected geometry of HPGe detector
the spatial efficiency of the detector under the radioactive point source is studied and the function
which could be used to calculate the efficiency matrix quickly between the detection efficiency
radiation energy and the position of the point source.
