Abstract
The sensitivities of both time and energy resolutions of a typical scintillation detector to major optical parameters (i.e. paint reflectivity, quantum efficiency of photomultiplier tube and attenuation coefficient) have been estimated using a dedicated Monte Carlo (MC) optical photon transport (OPT) simulation code, PHOTRACK, and the OPT capabilities of general-purpose code, FLUKA. Both cylindrical and parallelepiped geometries have been considered for the scintillator cell and lightguide. The results determine the scintillation light wavelength regions that the energy and time resolution represent enhanced sensitivities to small change/uncertainty in optical parameters.
