| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A simulator for liquid scintillation counter (LSC) has been developed. It calculates the LSC spectrum for the signal detected at the photomultipliers by taking into account disintegration of radionuclide, scintillation photon emission and propagation of the optical photons. The scintillating photon yields for a series of standard quenched samples were estimated by comparing the calculated LSC spectrum with that in the measurements. The correlation between photon yields, counting efficiency, ESCR (External standard channel ratio) and TDCR (Triple to double coincidence ratio) were analyzed.
The simulation is capable of estimating both photon yield and detection efficiency without a series of standard quenched samples. Therefore the simulation can be used as an alternative method for estimating detection efficiency.
