heal.abstract	A MCNP model was developed for the efficiency calibration of an in situ gamma ray spectrometry system based on a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector The detector active crystal volume was adjusted semi-empirically against experimental measurements Calculated full energy peak efficiency curves, over the photon energy range between 50 keV and 5 MeV, are presented for surface and slab source configurations The effect of different collimator apertures and the contribution of different HPGe crystal regions in the detector response are also shown.
