The performance of two broad energy Germanium types HPGe γ spectrometers was tested in this work.The impact of different standard sources,detector distances,and dead times on the detection efficiency of the two broad energy Germanium types HPGe γ spectrometers was explored.The test results showed that the R2 values of the energy calibration curves for the two broad energy Germanium types HPGe γ spectrometers were both 1,indicating good linearity.When the energy was less than 165 keV,the detection efficiency of the two detectors was significantly better than that of traditional P-type detector,and the differences in sample diameter and thickness had a significant impact on the detectors efficiency.When the calibration source was 5 cm and 10 cm away from the detector and the energy was less than 391 keV,the detection efficiency of the BE6530 was higher than that of the GEM-C65.Conversely,when the energy was greater than 391 keV,the result was reversed.In addition,this study expanded the measurement range for samples with high activity using the HPGe γ spectrometers.By using a correction formula to correct the counting rate results with a dead time of 50%,it showed that the relative deviation of the corrected environmental samples in the two spectrometers was significantly reduced.
