Analytical method for calculating the efficiency and solid angle of an NaI(Tl) detector

Recent Trends in Elpasolite Single Crystal Scintillators for Radiation Detection

“…Ce Con: Ce concentration; E. R.: energy resolution. For comparison, the NaI:Tl crystal is also included [8,29,[57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68].…”

“…In the late 1940s, the alkali halides single crystals, such as NaI:Tl [6] and CsI:Tl [7], were developed as the better scintillators. Indeed, the NaI:Tl is still one of the most widely used inorganic scintillators due to its modest scintillation properties, relatively low cost, and availability of large-size single crystals [8]. The NaI:Tl crystal is often employed as the benchmark to estimate the performance of newly explored scintillation materials.…”

Evaluation of Full-Energy-Peak Efficiencies for a Labr3:Ce Scintillator Through a Virtual Point Detector Approach

“…This goal is fullfilled through experimental measurement of a calibrated source with the same shape, composition and density as the sample. Most of the time this source is not available and the efficiencies are determined through a Monte Carlo simulation (Dias et al, 2002;Hasan et al, 2021;Helmer et al, 2003;Vidmar et al, 2008), an analytical approach, if available (Badawi et al, 2012;Boukeffoussa and Bouakaz, 2021;Hamzawy, 2014) or an "efficiency transfer" method (Lepy et al, 2001(Lepy et al, , 2006Piton et al, 2000). Each of these methods can be a tedious and time-consuming task that involves the knowledge of detector composition and dimensions.…”
