Sourceless efficiency calibration method for γ spectrum based on numerical analysis by YE Erlei, SHEN Chunxia, NAN Hongjie, LAI Yongfang

“…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.ResultsCompared 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.ConclusionsThe 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. …”
