A theoretical model for calculating the full-energy peak efficiency of scintillator detector is proposed in this paper. The effective penetration distance of gamma-rays in & Oslash;3.81cm x 3.81 cm LaBr3(Ce) 3 (Ce) crystal, aluminum shell and MgO reflector is analyzed. The calculation model for point source detection efficiency is derived, and the attenuation of gamma-rays in the detector shell is computed by theoretical calculation method. This method is used to calculate the efficiency of LaBr3(Ce) 3 (Ce) with a size of & Oslash;3.81 x 3.81 cm for detecting gamma-rays from point sources of 137 Cs and 60 Co located in different positions. Compared with experimental data and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation results, the maximum relative deviation is less than 5%. The attenuation of gamma-rays with an energy of 60 keV is more than 50%. The fitted efficiency calibration curve in the energy range of 60 keV-1500 keV is in good agreement with the simulation results. The results show that this method is suitable for calculating the efficiency of the LaBr3(Ce) 3 (Ce) detector using point sources, especially for analyzing low-energy gamma ray sources. By taking into account the attenuation of the gamma-rays by the detector shell, the measurement accuracy can be effectively improved. The proposed method can be extended for the efficiency calibration of scintillator detectors with various shapes and provides a new approach for 'source-less' efficiency calibration of detectors.
[Background]Efficiency calibration is an important prerequisite for γ-spectroscopy measurement,and its accuracy directly affects the reliability of measurement results.The commonly used efficiency calibration methods are active efficiency calibration based on experimental measurement and passive efficiency calibration based on Monte Carlo(MC)simulations.[Purpose]This study aims to propose a sourceless efficiency calibration method for γ spectrum based on numerical analysis.[Methods]Based on theoretical analysis and numerical calculation,a passive efficiency calibration method based on numerical analysis was established,and applied to a constructed geometric model for typical cylindrical LaBr3(Ce)and NaI(Tl)detector with a diameter and length of 3.8 cm.The γ-ray path trajectory inside the detector,relative position of the source and detector,and peak-to-total ratio were comprehensively analyzed.Efficiency formulas for radioactive point,surface,and volume radioactive sources were formulated.Then,a numerical integration program based on Simpson's algorithm was implemented in MATLAB to solve the numerical analytical formula,and applied to the calculation of detection efficiencies of the 3.8 cm cylindrical LaBr3(Ce)and NaI(Tl)detectors for isotropic 137Cs point,surface,and volume sources.The calculation was performed again by changing the position of the point source and the size of the surface and volume sources.Simultaneously,the Monte Carlo(MC)simulation software MCNP5 was employed to establish the physical model of the detector,and the F8 pulse amplitude card was used to calculate the detection efficiency of the detector for specific energy γ-rays.Finally,detection efficiency obtained by numerical calculation was compared with that of MC simulation to verify the efficiency of proposed sourceless efficiency calibration method for γ spectrum.[Results]Compared with the MC simulation results,the maximum error of numerical calculation does not exceed 3.5%,and the maximum relative errors of the point source efficiency,surface source efficiency and volume source efficiency are 3.26%,3.33%and 3.36%,repectively,which proves the reliability and accuracy of the numerical analysis method in calculating the detection efficiency.[Conclusions]The passive efficiency calibration method proposed in this study is accurate and fast,avoids complicated MC simulation software,which tends to be difficult to understand and operate.Additionally,this work can be extended to the efficiency calibration of nuclear radiation detectors with different shapes,providing a new pathway for the efficiency calibration of detectors.

BackgroundWhen the relative position of the point source and the detector changes, the detection efficiency will also change. Determining the functional relationship of the detection efficiency with the alteration of the detection distance and angle is beneficial to quickly obtain the detection efficiency of the point source at any position.PurposeThis study aims to determine the spatial point source efficiency function for a LaBr3(Ce) of a specific size.MethodsThe detection efficiency of 152Eu, 137Cs, and 60Co point sources at specific positions were simulated and calculated by MCNP5, and the efficiency of the 3.81-cm (diameter and length) LaBr3(Ce) detector was calibrated by simulation. The detection efficiency of the point source at different positions in the 2π space range of the front of the LaBr3(Ce) detector was calculated. The functional relationship between detection efficiency and angle and distance was obtained by data fitting.ResultsCompared with the experimental results, the maximum relative difference of detection efficiency of point sources calculated by MCNP5 is less than 6%. The maximum detection efficiency of LaBr3(Ce) detector appears at an angle of 90° with the detector axis. With the increase of detection distance and energy, the influence of angle on the detection efficiency of point source gradually decreases. The effect of the spatial position on the detection efficiency is actually the spatial solid angle efficiency of the point source relative to the detector.ConclusionThe detection efficiency of a point source at any position in space can be calculated based on the efficiency function, which has a good reference value and guiding significance for the solution of the LaBr3(Ce) detector efficiency matrix and the efficiency calibration.
The detection efficiency of soil samples in a cylindrical measuring geometry was calculated using the Monte Carlo method, evaluating the self-absorption corrections in the energy range of 46-2615 keV. By controlling variables, the effects of parameters such as sample density, height and humidity on the self-absorption factor have been studied, and the corresponding correction functions have been obtained. The research results show that: for γ photons of a specific energy, the change of sample density has the greatest impact on self-absorption. For samples whose density is not much different from that of the standard sample, the impact of changes in height and humidity on self-absorption should be considered. In the high-precision measurement of samples containing low-energy γ-photon radionuclides, the errors caused by density, altitude and humidity should be comprehensively considered.
