✦ Synopsis

Using the peak efficiencies calculated by the PEAK code for 8 and 18% Ge(Li) detectors, the optimum geometry of large Marinehi-type vessels (5-60 L), under which the peak efficiency has its maximum value, was obtained in the energy region from 365 to 1332 keV. The result showed that the optimum geometry holds when the sample thickness in the axial and radial directions are equal.
