✦ Synopsis

A personal computer based program is developed for HPGe detector effective solid angle calculation for various source-detector arrangements. This program uses a simplified detector model to avoid tedious computational algorithms. The source geometry can be point, disk or cylinder. The applicability of using this program for gamma-ray absolute-peak-efficiency calibration has been successfully validated with various combinations of source geometry, source-detector distance and gamma-ray energy.
