Abstract

By considering the data for a 38 cm3 Ge(Li) detector from Egamma =319.80 to 2598.80 keV, and for a 68 cm3 HPGe detector from Egamma =223.430 to 3253.610 keV, it has been demonstrated that the contribution of the pair production process to the full energy peak efficiency (FEPE) of germanium detectors can be quite adequately accounted for in a semi-empirical way.
