Abstract
In recent years
LaBr
3
∶Ce crystal scintillation detectors have been widely used in γ-ray logging due to their high energy resolution and excellent energy response. In this paper
the energy spectra of LaBr
3
∶Ce and Na I(Tl) crystals in γ-ray wells containing uranium-containing natural radionuclides were simulated by MCNP5 program
so as to compare the energy of both. The effects of three different sizes of LaBr
3
∶Ce crystals on γ-ray detection efficiency were investigated. The results show that the energy response of LaBr
3
∶Ce crystal is better than that of Na I(Tl) crystal
and the detection efficiency increases with the increase of crystal length.
