A multi-step Monte-Carlo method is established for calculating the γ spectrum of plutonium volume source. The γ spectra of a spherical plutonium source is calculated by using a multi-step and direct mothed,and compared with the expe rimental γ spectrum. The calculated results are in agreement with the experm ental results whithin 10%. It is proven by the calculated result of Steve Fett er model that the multi-step calculation converges faster than the direct metho d in the calculation of the γ spectrum of plutonium volume source with shields .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
