Abstract

The measurement of high-energy \(\gamma \)-rays is an important experimental method to study the giant resonance in a nucleus, \(\gamma \) reaction in nuclear astrophysics, and so on. The performance of a large-size CsI detector for \(\gamma \)-rays detection is studied by comparison between the experimental measurements and GEANT4 simulation. The reliability of the simulated efficiency for low-energy \(\gamma \)-rays is verified by comparing with the experimental data. The efficiency of the CsI detector for high-energy \(\gamma \)-rays was obtained by the GEANT4 simulation. The simulation shows that the detection efficiency of 20 MeV \(\gamma \)-rays can reach 3.8%.
