Abstract
A new method for determination of efficiency calibration curves in γ-spectrometry is described. From the calibration curves for a bulky sample and a point source, the curves for sources with the same geometrical parameters as the bulky sample but different attenuation coefficients may be calculated. The method was tested at an energy of 88 keV on a set of samples with attenuation coefficients between 0.2 and 2 cm2 g−1. The conditions where the new method is useful are discussed.
