Subtraction of low level background noise in measurement of enriched uranium using CdZnTe detector

In this study, it have been the present work new samples lead shield of 5 cm and copper filter plates with 100x100 mm² area and the thickness of 0.2 - 2 mm were prepared, it have been undertaken to evaluate the former samples as γ-ray shields. Experimentally values of mass attenuation coefficients have been compared with theoretically calculated values of these samples using Monte Carlo simulation. The present study demonstrates that the combination of CZT measurements and computer simulations helps us understand the radiation production by shielding materials and the decrease of low-level background noise by Cu-filter. We carried out simulation of shielding using Cu-filter and verified the method by experimental measurement. We did not observe an evolution of relative ratio of low and high energy region using more than thickness of 1.6mm but only count rates deceased
