Validation of Monte Carlo model of HPGe detector for field-station measurement of airborne radioactivity
Original language description
A Monte Carlo (MC) model of a mechanically-cooled High Purity Germanium detection system IDM-200-V manufactured by ORTEC was created, optimized and validated within the scope of the Joint Research Project ENV57 "Metrology for radiological early warning networks in Europe''. The validation was performed for a planar source homogeneously distributed on a filter placed on top of the detector end cap and for point sources positioned farther from the detector by comparing simulated full-energy peak (FEP) detection efficiencies with the ones measured with two or three different pieces of the IDM detector. True coincidence summing correction factors were applied to the measured FEP efficiencies. Relative differences of FEP efficiencies laid within 8% that isfully satisfactory for the intended use of the detectors as instruments for airborne radioactivity measurement in field-stations. The validated MC model of the IDM-200-V detector is now available for further MC calculations planned in the
