摘要：

We performed a systematic study on the influence of different source configurations on the reliability of Monte Carlo calculations for the response of Ce detectors. Calculated full-energy peak efficiencies are compared to experimental values in the energy range 46-1800 keV. Setups with different characteristics are considered, from point-like to volume sources. Among the latter there are filters and aqueous matrices and sediments in Petri boxes or Marinelli beakers. The analysis of the deviations between experimental and calculated results for the different configurations enables us to detect inaccuracies in the description of detector and source characteristics and to improve them. By means of this procedure satisfactory results of the efficiencies were obtained in the whole energy range. For all setups, the deviations average 1.5%, except for the sediment sources where they are up to 3.3%. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
