Abstract
Inorganic scintillator materials find widespread use in ionizing radiation detectors across various fields such as nuclear physics and medical physics. Recently, there have been advancements in enhancing their optical properties through the addition of small quantities (doping) of metals, typically from the rare-earth family. The primary objective of this research is to conduct calculations using the MCNP-X simulation code, based on the Monte Carlo method, to investigate the response of the CaMoO4 crystal to gamma rays within the energy range of 59 keV to 1408 keV. Key parameters in this study include energy resolution and detection efficiency, crucial for assessing the detector's performance. Erbium has been selected as the dopant element for this investigation.
