A decrease in the energy resolution of a large HPGe was first seen after the irradiation of 5*10^7 n/cm^2. <ref>P. H. Stelson, J. K. Dickens, S. Raman, and R. C. Trammell, “Deterioration of Large Ge(Li) Diodes Caused by Fast Neutrons,” Nuclear Instruments and Methods 98,481 (1972).</ref>

The maximum flux occurs right at the center of the detector, where the expression for flux simplifies to [math]n_{rate}\frac{1}{4\pi d^2}[/math]
