Abstract

The performance of a new Compton-suppression spectrometer consisting of one HPGe detector and three NaI(Tl) detectors was studied. The peak-to-Compton ratio for a 137Cs source is 1150 and the integral background count rate is 0.3 5s−1 over the energy interval 20–3000keV. The spectrometer was used to acquire both Compton-suppressed and non-suppressed spectra of aerosol samples collected in Beijing following the Fukushima nuclear accident.
