60Co and 88Y true coincidence summing correction by simulated total detection efficiency of gamma-ray spectrometry system / Ahmad Saat

A mathematical model of True Coincidence Summing (TCS) correction factors of gamma photons from simple decay schemes of °Co and 88Y was developed. The model developed made use of the total detection efficiency of the detector and the yields for the photons concerned. The total detection efficiency...
