摘要
A method for the determination of the Pb-210 activity by HPGe spectrometry is proposed, consisting of measuring the bremsstrahlung generated in a sample by Bi-210 beta-emission (1.16 MeV). The detection efficiency is evaluated by GEANT3 simulation and is compared with experiment. A detection limit of 600 mBq was obtained. This technique has been used to select low background detector materials and lead shielding. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
