Abstract
In this paper we present a new semi-empirical model calculation of the peak efficiency for unshielded HPGe detectors based on the virtual point detector and the attenuation factor concepts. The validity of the model calculation was checked by comparison with Monte Carlo efficiency values and experimental efficiencies determined for a HPGe detector type GEM 25P4 using a calibration drum. The discrepancy between experimental and calculated efficiencies is smaller than 10% in the energy range 122-1408 keV.
