Calculation of efficiency of NaI(Tl) detectors using the transfer method and the MCNP-X code

The Efficiency Transfer Method (MTE) saves time, resources and allows you to calculate efficiency in different positions without the need to repeat a new measurement with a new source repositioning. In order to provide data for the use of MTE, a mathematical model with a NaI(Tl) detector was developed using the MCNP-X code. This work studies two different ways of obtaining the detection efficiency of radiation detectors, especially the MTE method.Referências
