A Study on Design Optimization of Compton Suppression Detector for in Situ Measurement of Site Using Monte Carlo Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
Compton suppression system was established to accurately and precisely measure low-level radiation during insitu measurement of sites. HPGe detector was selected as the main detector and plastics scintillation detector was selected as the guard detector. Using Cs source, while changing the height(h) and width(w) about plastic scintillation detector the gamma spectrum was simulated using the Monte Carlo method. Also each was performance evaluated using reduction factor (RF). As a result the optimum result of height(h) 10cm x width(W) 10cm, –1cm forward disposition of plastic detector size was derived. The reduction factor (RF) according to optimum design condition was 2.97, and a maximum of 5.0 suppression effect was obtained near to the 420keV.

Unfolding X-ray spectrum in the diagnostic range using the Monte Carlo Code MCNP5
Introduction: Unfolding X-ray spectrum is a powerful tool for quality control of X-ray tubes. Generally, the acquisition of the X-ray spectrum in diagnostic radiology departments is complicated and difficult due to high photon flux. Measurement of x ray spectra using radiation detectors could not be performed accurately, because of the pulse pile up. Therefore, indirect methods...
