Determination of the photopeak detection efficiency of a HPGe detector, for volume sources, via Monte Carlo simulations
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory (ERL) at iThemba LABS undertakes experimental work using a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector for laboratory measurements. In this study the Monte Carlo transport code, MCNPX, ...
Radon in the Cango Caves
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive element in the 238U decay series that is found in high concentrations in certain geological formations such as Caves. Exposure to high concentrations of radon has been positively ...
