An intercomparison of Monte Carlo codes used for in-situ gamma-ray spectrometry

Comparison of solvent extraction and extraction chromatography resin techniques for uranium isotopic characterization in high-level radioactive waste and barrier materials

“…Counting efficiencies were calculated through Monte Carlo simulations using LABSOCS program (Hurtado and Villa, 2010) for the two counting geometries used: a 0.45 μm Millipore filter (ZrU-Solid) and a 100 mL cylindrical beaker (ZrU-Liquid). The composition of the solid sample was essential to compute correctly the simulated efficiency of this counting geometry.…”

Stochastic simulation study of HPGe detector response and the effect of detector aging using Geant4

“…In a sep a rate work, Dryak and Kovar [20] used a collimated pho ton beam of 59.5 keV from an Am-241 source from var i ous in ci dence an gles on the front face of an HPGe de tec tor to de ter mine the ef fec tive thickness of the dead layer. Like wise, many re search ers found it nec es sary to op ti mize the dead layer thick ness in or der to re move dis crep an cies be tween ex per i mental ob ser va tions and cor re spond ing Monte Carlo sim ulated val ues [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

Levels of radionuclide concentrations in benthic invertebrate species from the Balearic Islands, Western Mediterranean, during 2012–2018

“…Samples were counted for 1-3 days using a low-background Canberra HPGe GR-6022 detector with 60% relative efficiency, surrounded by a 10 cm thick high-purity lead shield. The absolute efficiencies of the detectors were calculated using Canberra LabSOCS software taking into account the effect of self-attenuation of low energy gamma-rays within the sample (Hurtado and Villa, 2010). The spectra were analyzed using Canberra Genie 2000 gamma software v3.2.…”
