The true coincidence summing correction factor for a Broad Energy Germanium detector has been calculated at far and close geometry set-up using radioactive γ-ray sources. The correction factors were calculated using both experimental and analytical methods. Geant4 simulation was done to calculate the full-energy peak and total efficiencies of the detector. Standard, as well as fabricated mono-energetic γ-ray sources, were used for the γ-ray efficiency measurements. The simulated efficiencies of mono-energetic γ-ray sources were matched to the experimental γ-ray efficiencies by optimizing the detector parameters. The same parameters were used to obtain the full-energy peak and total efficiencies for γ-rays of current interest. Analytical and experimental correction factors were found to agree well with each other. The coincidence summing effect is found to be significant for source-to-detector distances less than 5 cm.

For developing and characterizing a novel compact D-T neutron spectrometer based on a single-crystal chemical vapor deposition diamond stack for plasma diagnostics toward future D-T fusion reactors, the initial measurement was performed using the accelerator-based D-T neutron sources OKTAVIAN at Osaka University. This neutron spectrometer was designed for the detection of 3-17 MeV neutrons and operated in the proton recoil telescope configuration by installing a polyethylene converter in front of the diamond stack. The measured neutron energy spectra were obtained by summing the energy of the recoil protons deposited in the diamond stack after the coincidence of the recoil protons identified by the time coincidence analysis.

The goal of this study is to provide a benchmark for the use of Monte Carlo simulation when applied to coincidence summing corrections. The examples are based on simple geometries: two types of germanium detectors and four kinds of sources, to mimic eight typical measurement conditions. The coincidence corrective factors are computed for four radionuclides.

The uncertainty component of high efficiency gamma-ray spectrometry measurements due to the uncertainty of the decay parameters is evaluated. It is based on the analysis of a large set of random decay schemes, constructed using the values and uncertainties of the decay parameters taken from data libraries. The distributions of the coincidence-summing correction factors F, of the factors p⋅F (p = photon emission intensity), and of the correlations between the distribution of pairs of these factors are constructed and analysed.

Production of medical isotopes has recently been developed at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) in China and many aqueous samples containing produced radioisotopes at wide range of volume were generated. Evaluation of radionuclidic purity and quantification of radioactivity for these samples are of significant importance, especially for medical purpose. High purity germanium (HPGe) detectors and gamma spectrometry are widely used in radionuclidic purity evaluation due to the high energy resolution.
