CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishThe dead layer near the front surface of aged or damaged NaI detectors produces both an energy dependent diminution in counting efficiency and a characteristic iodine K X-Ray peak which interferes with the registered radiation spectra. In this paper the exploitation of this peak as an internal reference to assess the dead layer thickness and the relative loss of detector quality is proved by means of a comparison between experiments and Monte Carlo simulations. Investigations with different NaI based equipments and photon transport simulations are carried out in order to assess the detector degradation in terms of peak interference, efficiency and resolution.
