Description
The response function of large Nal crystals to high energy photons (Esub(γ) <= 300 MeV) has been evaluated using a Monte Carlo code. All the involved electromagnetic processes, including radiation energy losses, annihilation in flight and multiple scattering have been taken into account. The numerical and physical approximations have been tested by a detailed comparison of the Monte Carlo predictions with the available experimental response functions of NaI crystals to high energy monochromatic photon beams.
