Monte Carlo simulation algorithm for pileup effect of pulses in gamma spectroscopy and pileup distortion calculation on 137Cs pulse height spectrum in NaI(Tl) detector

Abstract

 In this paper, an algorithm base on Monte Carlo simulation for pileup effect in gamma spectrum of a detection system is presented whose its code was written in FORTRAN language. The code can be run in paralayzable and nonparalazable mode to obtain the pileup distortion and value of pulses pileup for any detection system. The result show, that the computed spectrum of 137Cs is in good agreement with the experimental spectrum in NaI(Tl) detector. The free of pileup free spectrum and sub-spectra with different degrees of pulses of pileup are calculated. Also, we can apply it to different sources and detectors for pileup correction
