Comparison of calculated absolute full-energy peak efficiencies of CdTe and NaI detectors in the photon energy region of 15-2000 keV
Description
A comparison of the calculated absolute full-energy peak efficiencies of CdTe and NaI detectors, i.e. the ratio of the number of counts under the full-energy peak (FEP) to the number of photons at the same energy emitted by the source, is made for six different detectors and three source sizes. The CdTe and NaI detectors are assumed to be of equal volume. The calculations are performed in the photon energy region 15-2000 keV using water, muscle and blood as source media. (author)
