Monte Carlo simulations of gamma ray linear attenuation coefficient function and determination of its parameters
在中低密度样品中,γ射线的线衰减系数主要由γ射线能量和样品密度决定,采用MCNP(Monte Carlo NParticle Transport Code)程序模拟计算了多种γ射线能量和多种样品密度条件下的线衰减系数,对线衰减系数模拟值进行多元非线性回归,确定了以γ射线能量和样品密度为因变量的线衰减系数函数及参数。实验测定了三种能量γ射线在6种不同密度样品中的线衰减系数值,并与模拟所得函数值进行比较分析。结果表明,所得函数值与实验值的相对误差均在7%以内,蒙特卡罗程序计算所得函数值与实验测量值较为吻合,所采用的函数模型准确验证了线衰减系数与γ射线能量、样品密度之间的关系特征。
Abstract
Background
2
With low and intermediate level density sample
linear attenuation coefficient is mainly determined by gamma ray energy and material density.
Purpose
2
The aim is to determine the relationships and effect of gamma ray energy and material density to linear attenuation coefficient.
Methods
2
This work has constructed different samples with different densities from 0.3 g·cm

by using Monte Carlo N Particle Transport Code (MCNP). Linear attenuation coefficients are obtained for gamma ray energies from 100 keV to 1 500 keV. Relationships and effect of gamma ray energy and material density to linear attenuation coefficient are determined by using a function model. Through experimental measurement of
