Monte Carlo Simulation of a Position Sensitive Gamma Ray Detector
The Monte Carlo method was employed to obtain the response of a position sensitive gamma ray detector. The basic unit consists of a scintillator bar coupled to two photon detectors. Determination of the position of interaction is obtained from the ratio of the light intensity measured at each extremity of the bar. Association of two or more detectors of this type can be used to build a system w...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Modelling of a Multiple-hole Collimator for High Energy Gamma-ray Imaging
To develop a second generation gamma-ray camera for industrial applications, various multiple-hole collimator designs that meet high-energy, high-intensity and far-eld imaging requirements have been studied. The collection of parallel holes each parallel to one another (parallel-hole, parallel collimator) is ineeective for imaging high energy far-eld sources, whereas a collimator with parallel ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation for Airborne Gamma Ray Spectrometry
The aerial measuring terrestrial gamma radiation from airborne platforms is a useful method for characterizing the radiation levels over large areas. Because of the advantage of Monte Carlo method, it is very suitable for simulation of gamma ray transport and interaction with media (soil, air, aircraft and detector), which offer alternative means of estimating detector response and calibration ...
متن کاملNATIONAL PHYSICAL LABORATORY Calibration and Monte Carlo Modelling of the NPL Long Counters
An extensive programme was successfully carried out during the 1995 to 1998 NMS programme to recalibrate and model by Monte Carlo simulations the characteristics of two NPL long counters that are routinely used to standardise neutron fluences [Ta98,Ta00] for neutron energies above 500 keV. The present work is a continuation of it in that the counters responses and effective centres have been me...
متن کاملNIST Virtual Gamma Spectrometry System: A Comparison of Counting Efficiencies from Measurements and Monte Carlo Simulations
Anthropometric and anthropomorphic phantoms have been used extensively for characterizing in-vivo measurement systems that determines internally deposited radionuclides. The accuracy in activity determination relies critically on system design, calibration routine, and reproducbility in material composition, geometry configuration, and physical dimensions of the phantoms respect to the actual o...
