  • Title: Precise measurement and calculation of coincidence summing corrections for point and linear sources.
    Author: Sima O, Arnold D.
    Journal: Appl Radiat Isot; 2012 Sep; 70(9):2107-11. PubMed ID: 22405956.
    Abstract:
    Point sources of (60)Co, (133)Ba, (134)Cs and (152)Eu, calibrated at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt were measured in 13 positions on the axis of a 50% relative efficiency p-type detector. The peak and total efficiencies were calibrated using single photon emitting nuclides. Precise experimental values of the coincidence summing corrections were evaluated in each geometry. Synthetic linear source data, as well as the corresponding peak and total efficiency curves, were prepared using the dependence of the count rates on the position of the emitting point. The coincidence summing corrections for the linear sources were computed, analyzed with respect to different approximations and compared with simulations carried out with GESPECOR.
