Gamma spectroscopy using two Clover detectors in close geometry

A gamma spectrometer composed of two Clover Ge detectors in close geometry is described. The advantages and drawbacks of the different modes of operation are investigated. The use of offline coincidence analysis for substantial background reduction is presented and an experimental approach for the determination of the summing correction factor is formulated.
