Abstract

The results of the development and research of the characteristics of a portable γ-spectrometer based on a segmented high-purity Ge detector with background suppression and a detection efficiency of 60% are presented. In comparison to the conventional detection of radiation, when the entire detector volume is enabled, the relative improvement of the peak-to-Compton ratio for energies of 662 and 136 keV amounts to a factor of 1.4 and above 1.5, respectively.
