A MODIFIED METHOD FOR CORRECTING INSTRUMENTAL SPECTRUM OF HIGH HURITY GERMANIUM DETECTOR
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The paper considers an improved method for correcting the instrumental spectrum of a high purity germanium detector (HPGe detector) in the energy range (10–300 keV). The method uses a detector response matrix obtained by the Monte Carlo method, which allows to bring the appearance of the instrumental spectrum of the HPGe detector closer to its true shape by minimizing the influence of the detector response function. The main difference of this method from analogs is the additional deconvolution algorithm of the corrected spectrum, which makes it possible to obtain a smooth curve at the output.

Keywords:
Monte-Carlo modelling, spectrum correction, HPGe detector
