摘要
High resolution gamma-ray measurements require the use of germanium detectors. Gamma rays with low emission probabilities are often hot detectable above the background in which source-induced effects such as Compton-scattered events play a significant role. A Compton suppression system is required to reduce the background in the low energy range, and several such techniques are described for enhancing the peak-to-total ratio in a gamma-ray spectrometer. © 1990.
