Abstract:Coincident counts can be observed in experimental radiation spectroscopy. Accurate quantification of the radiation source requires the detection efficiency of the spectrometer, which is often experimentally determined. However, Monte Carlo analysis can be used to supplement experimental approaches to determine the detection efficiency a priori. The traditional Monte Carlo method overestimates the detection efficiency as a result of omitting coincident counts caused mainly by multiple cascade source particles. … Show more
