A technique for estimating detection limits of radio-nuclide identifying detectors by means of computer simulations

A simulation technique has been developed to study the performance of nuclide identifying gamma detector units operating under a variety of different conditions. The studies are related to nuclide identification based on a template matching algorithm which has been well established, in particular, f...

Summary:A simulation technique has been developed to study the performance of nuclide identifying gamma detector units operating under a variety of different conditions. The studies are related to nuclide identification based on a template matching algorithm which has been well established, in particular, for the analysis of low statistics measurements. Results are presented for hand-held devices equipped with NaI(Tl) and LaBr 3 (Ce 3+ ) scintillation detectors, respectively
