CRYSTAL CONFIGURATION DEPENDENCE OF CSI(TL) SCINTILLATION DETECTORS ON ENVIRONMENTAL DOSE RATE MEASUREMENT

Abstract:
The crystal configuration dependence of thallium-doped caesium iodide (CsI(Tl)) scintillation detectors was analysed on an ambient dose equivalent (H*(10)). H*(10) were systematically calculated in various crystal conditions for aspect ratios and sizes in a virtual environment contaminated by radionuclides to investigate directional characteristics by comparing the H*(10)s with the typical irradiation geometries in anterior-posterior (AP), lateral (LAT), rotational (ROT) and isotropic (ISO). The simulation revealed that H*(10) obviously changes according to the crystal configuration and cuboidal CsI(Tl) scintillation detectors with specific aspect ratios could be applied to environmental dose rate measurement without further changes in the calibration procedure.
