Abstract
The effect of application of filters, made of different materials and various thickness, is studied by Monte Carlo calculations using MCNP6.2 code. The calculated data were validated by experimental studies (benchmark tests). Experimental results obtained for YAlO3:Mn high-Z TL detectors irradiated to different standard ISO radiation qualities (X-ray series N-40, N-60, N-80, N-100, N-120, N-150 and N-200 as well as isotopic series S-Cs) modified by various metal (copper and aluminum) filters of thickness of 0.5, 0.8 and 1mm. The experimental results are compared with results of Monte Carlo simulations done for the same 'radiation-attenuator-detector' combinations and geometry. Obtained results show good consistence between the experimental and calculated data that testifies adequacy of the used calculations and their applicability to modeling of modification of an output from the high-Z detectors exposed to photons of various energies.
