Description

Scintillation detectors are widely used technique in detecting gamma rays through different fields in science and technology. Scintillation detectors are usually coupled with photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) which generate electrical signals in response to light incident upon their faces. NaI(Tl) scintillation detector is simulated and the energy deposited by incoming gamma photons is obtained using GEANT4. Then the scintillation process to produce scintillation photons and the corresponding electrons in the PMT is separately simulated statistically using R which is a programming language for statistical analysis. We compared the obtained energy spectrum with the experimental data for Co60 gamma source. The simulated result along with the comparison with experimental data will be presented.
