High accuracy measurement of the relative efficiency curve and determination of gamma-ray relative intensity for 38Cl

ABSTRACT

Relative efficiency curves were accurately determined for Ge gamma-ray detectors from measurements for radionuclides which emit two gamma-rays with essentially the same emission probabilities. The relative intensity of the 1643 and 2167 keV gamma-rays from 38Cl was determined to be 0.7496 (11) by using these highly accurate efficiency curves.
