Description

For the purpose of rapid on-site measurement for radioxenon, the efficiency of radioxenon for HPGe detector were performed with Monte Carlo method for the adsorption column in the integrative sample box which was designed with functions of adsorption and source container. And the voxel filling method was utilized to describe the complicated geometric structure of that column. The results of experimental validation indicated that the relative errors for the efficiencies between experiment and calculation are less than ± 8%, and the method presented in this paper was feasible.
