| Abstract | High purity germanium (HPGe) gamma ray spectrometer provides a good tool for measuring the concentrations of uranium, radium, thorium and potassium because of its high resolution. Accurate measurement of efficiency is crucial for their determination. The efficiency of a detection system varies significantly with geometry and matrix of the samples as well as energy of gamma rays. Thus, activity of samples has been determined by comparing the peak counts of samples and standards recorded under same configurations. But for geological samples, matrix varies from place to place giving samples of different densities. The activities of geological samples, especially in areas near to uranium deposits may also vary from ppm to percentage level. In such cases, computer simulations can help in calculating the efficiency of the system for different configurations and densities. Present work aims to create a computer model of HPGe detector being used at Physics Laboratory, Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD), Bengaluru using the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) code. In this work, model obtained using the manufacturer’s parameter was modified to match the simulated efficiency curves with experimental efficiency curves. Efficiency curves were also calculated for 50, 90 and 150 g of 0.26% equilibrium U3O8 sample. The calculated results compared well with those obtained experimentally. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
