In this work, a classical approach was used for calibrating the GESPECOR detector model for computing the full-energy peak efficiency of p-type coaxial HPGe detectors that is based on the use of linear least squares optimization. The key element of the work is the multiplicative model developed for approximating the values of the full-energy peak efficiency provided by GESPECOR code. It was linearized using the logarithmic transformation to allow an easy use of the linear least squares optimization. A procedure was also developed to estimate the optimal values of the parameters, describing the p-type coaxial HPGe detectors. Its application to a Canberra detector GC3018 showed that it is possible to determine accurate values of the full-energy peak efficiency computed by GESPECOR code using the optimized parameter values.

The current study proposes a procedure to estimate the activity concentration of natural radionuclides and to optimize passive shielding solutions for HPGe detectors using adjoint Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique of Geant4 for the first time. The background spectrum is acquired for 1.56 × 10 s using an HPGe detector model (GC3020), set inside a shielding solution, during 2021-2022 to estimate the activity concentration of natural radionuclides inside the shielding.

The aim of the presented paper is to examine the temperature drift and its unfolding for an environmental monitor equipped with a LaBr(Ce) detector. It is known that temperature could influence energy, shape, and efficiency calibration. Consequently, when ambient temperature changes, the full energy absorption peak moves in the resulting spectrum.

Integrated absolute full energy peak efficiency (IAFEPE) is a measure of photon registration efficiency using the γ-ray spectrometry method. We have derived appropriate formulas and theoretical explanations of IAFEPE for the first time. IAFEPE is a definite integral (Riemann integral) of the photon registration efficiency function within the detection energy range.
