Optimization and validation of a LaBr3(Ce) detector model for use in Monte Carlo simulations

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

A reliable detector model is needed for Monte Carlo efficiency calibration. A LaBr3(Ce) detector model was optimized and verified using different radioactive sources (241Am,133Ba,137Cs,60Co and152Eu) and geometries (point, extended and surface). PENELOPE and MCNP were used for Monte Carlo simulations. A good agreement was observed between simulated and experimental full energy peak efficiencies (FEPE) as their mean relative difference was 2.84% ± 1.93% and 2.79% ± 1.99% for PENELOPE and MCNP simulation, respectively. The differences between simulated FEPEs of two Monte Carlo codes were negligible except for low energies (< 100 keV).
