Workshop Title: Workshop On Semiconductor And Scintillation Detectors Efficiency Calculations Methods And Software

Organized by: 
Prof Mahmoud Abbas, BAU, Beirut, Lebanon (Alexandria University, Egypt)

In the field of activity measurement by means of gamma-ray spectrometry using semiconductor or scintillation detectors, one usually needs to know the detection efficiency for any specific source–detector configuration of concern. Because the experimental determination of the detection efficiency is tedious and even difficult for extended circular disc and volumetric sources, there are, in principle, three approaches to this issue: • Analytical direct calculation. • Monte Carlo simulation. • Semiempirical method. In addition, we can use commercial software or code to calculate the Semiconductor and Scintillation Detectors Efficiency.
