description | 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. |
