dc.description.abstractTOPAS MC software was used to model the efficiency of a coaxial p-type HPGe detector, type GX9023 from Canberra. The model was validated by comparing experimental efficiencies with efficiencies calculated by TOPAS MC simulations. Three different geometries of radionuclide sources, placed at different heights from the detector endcap, were used to validate the model. The imposed criteria of 5% relative difference was met for a range of radionuclides and gamma-ray energies. As a result, the created detector model with TOPAS MC was considered validated.-
dc.description.sponsorshipThe research was conducted under a PhD grant at Hasselt University. This work also received support from the open access scheme EUFRAT at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Geel, Belgium. The author would also like to thank the developer team of TOPAS MC for the special licence allowing the use of TOPAS MC for gamma-ray spec-trometry applications-
