Resumo

This report presents a methodology to calculate the photon detection efficiency and energy resolution curves of a planar a 1.5"x 1" NaI(Tl) scintillator detector exposed to gamma rays in the energy range from 20 keV to 662 keV. The parameter used for experimental validation of the detector’s model was experimental photopeak efficiency curve that was compared with the calculated efficiency curve by the MCNP-X code.
