Abstract

The photoefficiency and source utilization coefficients for 3.5, 28 and 45 cm3 Ge(Li) detectors were determined. Values of the source utilization coefficient were obtained as a function of the measurement geometry. Limits of detection were determined for 30 elements with long-lived isotopes and 38 elements with short-lived isotopes.
