Abstract

Computer software named GE_EFF for calculation of detection efficiency of High Purity Ge detectors recently developed by us is presented. A Monte-Carlo method has been used for simulation. The software has been written in Visual Basic language. The calculated efficiencies for our detectors are in agreement with the measured values using a standard γ-ray sources. The software has been used at our laboratory of Institute of Physics for gamma radiation measurements.
