摘要

This study utilizes a NaI detector and MCNP6 simulations to evaluate the influence of target characteristics on gamma-ray spectral distributions. Results indicate that increasing the aluminum target thickness from 0 to 3 cm, the valley and Compton regions rose by up to 3.14 times at 383 keV, while the photoelectric peak declined by 0.67 times at 1332 keV. Furthermore, a Compton scattering peak at a 120° angle was identified at 383 keV within lead shielding. Notably, as lead thickness increased from 1.0 to 4.0 cm, peak 1 efficiency (Compton scattering peak) dropped 26 times, while peak 2 efficiency (photoelectric peak) decreased over 2514 times. Similarly, increasing target density from 10 to 14.5 g/cm3 reduced peak 1 by only 23% but peak 2 by over 96%. Additionally, increasing the target-to-detector distance diminished the Compton region, a phenomenon attributed to the build-up effect. These findings underscore the importance of shielding properties in industrial and medical applications.
