Abstract
The code PENELOPE is applied here to the efficiency calibration exercise described in the EUROMET project 428 [Lépy et al., 2001. Appl. Radiat. Isot. 55, 493]. We evaluated the peak efficiencies for a coaxial HPGe detector in the range 60-2000Â keV, for point sources located at various distances from the detector and for a cylindrical box containing two different matrixes: a low-density silica and a hydrochloric acid solution. After an optimization of several detector parameters, the results were in good agreement with the experimental values.
