Energy calibration for LaBr3(Ce) scintillator detector in the region of 1–10MeV
Background: LaBr3(Ce) detector has played an important role in detecting explosive
contraband and landmine because of its high detection efficiency and good energy resolution etc.Purpose: To calibrate detector in wide energy region.Methods: The gamma spectra of NH4Cl and C3H6N6 induced by 252Cf neutron source were measured.Results: Comparing their gamma spectra
characteristic gamma lines can be located and the energy calibration curve was obtained.Conclusions: Radio nuclides can be identified by the calibration curve fitted with quadratic or cubic polynomial.
