Description

With the modeling of the light transportation in crystal and electron multiplication in the PMT, a Monte Carlo simulation of CsI (Tl) scintillator detector has been implemented with Geant4 toolkit. The energy spectra simulated with different crystal shape, size and wrappings are obtained. And the reliability of the simulation parameters is confirmed by comparing with the measurements. The simulation code can be used as an reliable tool for the design of scintillator detectors. (authors)
