Experimental and simulated study of detector collimation for a portable 3″ × 3″ NaI(Tl) detector system for in-situ measurements

The effect of detector collimator and scatterer thickness on multiple Compton backscattered gamma photons is studied. Gamma photons from a 137Cs source of 5.8 mCi, is allowed to fall on Carbon, Aluminium, Iron and Copper targets and the scattered photons are detected by a properly shielded 76 mm × 7...
