Abstract
2000 analytical functions were fitted to the measured gamma-ray detection e fficiencies of a Ge detector for a small irradiation vial located at the cl osest distance from the detector. Among these. the Pearson IV function, gav e the best fit. The measured and calculated efficiencies were compared for 50 determinations (for energies which varied between 61 and 2754 keV) and a relative a standard deviation of 8.3% was obtained.
