National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Pulse Height Spectrum Measurement Experiment for Code Benchmarking: First Results.

DE200415006140

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Sale, K. E.; Hall, J. M.; Brown, C. M.
Page Count	12
Abstract	Monte Carlo radiation transport codes are in wide use in research and industry throughout the world. Although the codes have been well tested in some specific applications the tests have generally been against integral data, e.g. dose, total energy deposit or activation. In this paper we present the first results for a photon transport benchmark experiment testing the capability to predict absolute differential results, specifically pulse height counting rate spectra in a high purity germanium detector. There is no scaling employed to help the predictions match the experimental data.
