The pulse height spectra in a 2aEuro(3) x 2aEuro(3) NaI(Tl) detector due to these gamma ray sources have been measured. Comparison of the experimentally obtained and simulated spectra shows that there is good agreement between both spectra. Energy distributions of gamma photons that generate the backscattering peak in the response function were obtained and the contribution of single, double and multiple Compton scattering events to these distributions was investigated.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChemistryNuclear science & technologyDetector response functionBackscatter peakCompton scatteringPhoton energy distributionSpectraArticle0003052282000592-s2.0-848621794464254292931Chemistry, analyticalChemistry, inorganic & nuclearNuclear science & technologyGamma Spectrometry; Radiation Detectors; Thallium-Doped Sodium IodideCesium 137Cobalt 60Sodium iodideArticleCompton effectControlled studyDetector response functionGamma radiationIsotope analysisMaterials testingMonte carlo methodPhotonRadiation detectionRadiation detectorRadiation dose distributionRadiation energyRadiological parameters
