Calculation of Gamma-Ray Response Matrix for 5-cm NE-213 Organic Liquid Scintillation Detector.

摘要

The gamma-ray response matrix is reported for a 5-cm NE-214 organic liquid scintallation detector. Gamma-ray response functions were determined by Monte-Carlo calculations of the pulse-height spectra. The calculational method was thoroughly tested by comparisons with measured results from several laboratory gamma-ray sources. The response matrix generated from these calculations is 186 x 93, covering a pulse-height range from 0.10 to 9.40 light units and an energy range from 0.22 to 11.99 MeV. The response matrix was tested by unfolding a variety of measured gamma-ray spectra. The detector efficiency is also presented. (Author)
