Simulating a scintillation fiber detector of the activities of ionizing radiation sources

Simulating a scintillation fiber detector of the activities of ionizing radiation sources

Computer simulation results are presented for a fiber sensor based on the Saint-Gobain Crystals BSF-60 scintillation fiber aimed to measure the activities of sources of ionizing radiation. The simulation based on the Monte Carlo method and a Geant4 software code was applied to calculate the dependen...
