摘要：
The current study investigated the geometry, design and solid angle impacts on full energy peak efficiency (FEPE) of NaI(Tl) detectors for a line source. A line source is fabricated using Tc-99m solution filled in a borosilicate glass tube of inner diameter 3 mm, tube wall thickness 2.5 mm and length 12.7 cm. The FEPE is measured for the fabricated linear source using 2 '' x2 '' NaI(Tl) cylindrical detector at various source-detector distances. The experimental setup is simulated in GEANT4 and the computed FEPE values are compared with experimental values. The absolute error of 5% is observed between computed and measured FEPE values. Utilizing the advantages of MC simulations, the impact of numerous source parameters such as source length, diameter, source-detector distance, glass tube thickness and lead shield effects on FEPE are investigated to optimize the fabrication process of linear sources. A case study for current investigation has been analyzed by considering absolute FEPE of the NaI(Tl) system for a syringe filled with radioactive solution. This study provides an insight for the fabrication of standard linear sources by analyzing different source parameters and hence, may serve as a guideline to prepare standard linear sources for the calibration of radiation detectors.
