  • Title: Corrections for self-attenuation in gamma-ray spectrometry of bulk samples.
    Author: Boshkova T, Minev L.
    Journal: Appl Radiat Isot; 2001 May; 54(5):777-83. PubMed ID: 11258527.
    Abstract:
    On the basis of the measurement of over 70 radioactive standard bulk sources with different matrix density and different shapes, the gamma-ray self-attenuation corrections needed in activity determination by means of gamma-ray spectrometry are evaluated. The full-energy peak efficiency dependence on the density, and the self-attenuation correction dependence on the photon energy are described.
