• monoenergetic photons

The accuracy and suitability of two Monte Carlo codes for the simulation of a Compton spectrometer response function were studied. The Compton-scattered photon spectra were measured with a Schottky CdTe detector for 10-60-keV monoenergetic primary beams, and compared with the calculations, using EGS5 and MCNP4C codes. The results confirmed the accuracy of the simulations; however, the accuracy of EGS5 was significantly higher due to its ability to simulate the Doppler broadening effect.
