Abstract
- The full-energy peak efficiency calibration and the energy resolution measurements of the 2 in . × 2 in . LaBr 3 γ -ray detector are presented for γ -ray energies in the 700 keV–17.6 MeV range. Measurements were done using a combination of proton-capture nuclear reactions on Al 27 , Na 23 , K 39 , Li 7 and B 11 for high-energy γ -rays, and radioactive sources such as Co 60 and Eu 152 for the lowest energies. At high energies, two γ -rays in a cascade from proton resonance capture were employed using Al, Na 2 WO 4 , K 2 SO 4 and LiBO 2 targets. The obtained results were compared to the simulations performed using a GEANT4 code.
