Electron spectra measurements and Monte Carlo calculations for a 60Co standardised hot particle source
A benchmark set of measured beta particle spectra for a standardised 60Co hot particle source is presented. The spectra were obtained for conditions similar to those encountered in practical applications. The measured spectra were compared with Monte Carlo calculations using the MCNP code. These com...

| description | A benchmark set of measured beta particle spectra for a standardised 60Co hot particle source is presented. The spectra were obtained for conditions similar to those encountered in practical applications. The measured spectra were compared with Monte Carlo calculations using the MCNP code. These comparisons provided information to guide the selection of the optimal set-up parameters of the code. Important differences were observed in the MCNP calculated spectra when ITS and the default indexing style algorithm were used. Overall the calculations using the default mode of MCNP version 4B provide the best agreement with the measured electron spectra. |
