Abstract

For versatile applications of alpha-spectrometric analysis, the geometrical counting efficiency was conveniently evaluated for a circular detector faced to a circular radiating source with a Monte Carlo simulation method using a microcomputer after checking the qualities of the random numbers. The results were tabulated as functions of the distance (Q) between the detector and the source and of the source diameter (P), normalized with the detector diameter. An application was attempted for the uniformity examination of a natural uranium source electrodeposited on a stainless steel plate.
