| Abstract: | A Monte Carlo code was newly developed to examine response functions of a 2 in. dia. by 2 in. long NE-213 liquid scintillator for γ-ray. This code included the electron transport and the electron-photon cascade calculation to handle the wall and end effect induced by high energy electrons. Results of the Monte Carlo calculation were compared with measured values for standard sources, reaction γ-ray and thermal neutron capture γ-ray, and fairly good agreement was obtained. Response functions for monoenergetic γ-ray of energies 1~10 MeV were calculated at 1 MeV intervals. The calculations were made in parallel incident geometry without the peripheral material components surrounding the scintillator. The results are tabulated in this paper. A response matrix calculated from the above data was applied to the unfolding of NE-213 pulse height spectra using the FERDO code and fairly good results were obtained in absolute values. |
