Uncertainties of calculated coincidence-summing correction factors in gamma-ray spectrometry

Abstract

Uncertainty propagation to the $\gamma$-$\gamma$ coincidence-summing correction factor from the covariances of the nuclear data and detection efficiencies have been formulated. The method was applied in the uncertainty analysis of the coincidence-summing correction factors in the $\gamma$-ray spectrometry of the ${}^{134}$Cs point source using a p-type coaxial HPGe detector.
