Abstract
To perform quantitative analysis of Ge(Li) spectra, not only energy calibration but also efficiency calibration procedures are done. Although the use of standard sample volume, mass, density and geometry is preferable, this optimum is not always possible. So to achieve an optimization is the main objective of the work reported here. Efficiencies have to be determined as a function of energy, density, thickness, mass of sample, intensity, and source-to-detector distance.
