A new configuration of the Moxon-Rae detector based on Si detector

摘要

A new Moxon-Rae detector configuration based on Si semiconductor detector was proposed in this paper. Three gamma-ray sources, Cs-137, Co-60, and Na-24, were employed to make actual measurements using the new Moxon-Rae detector. The measured pulse height spectra and detection efficiencies were compared with the EGS4 simulated values. The results revealed that the proposed new configuration is indeed a successful method and specially a useful technique for higher energy gamma-ray measurement. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
