Monte-Carlo calculation of the response function of the big scintillation detector for neutron capture detection

Technique for calculation of the response function of a large liquid scintillation detector of radiation capture events is described. The GAMBAK and CYLIND programs permittinq to calculate γ-radiation energy losses in the sample and scintillator under the conditions of real geometry and a complex multicascade source usino the Monte-Carlo method are described in brief. The results of the calculations are compared with experimental amplitude detector spectra. The developed technique permits to calculate efficiency of a real detector at zero threshold as well as to obtain the correction for the ratio of the spectrum lying above the threshold. This technique permits also to determine corrections to self-absorption of capture γ-rays in samples
