A How to Calculate the Source Activity from Dose Rate in MCBEND

Click For Summary
To calculate the source activity from the dose rate in MCBEND, the specific gamma-ray constant for the source is essential. The distance between the detector and the source must also be considered. Additionally, the size, shape, and orientation of the detector play a crucial role in accurate calculations. Without these parameters, deriving the source activity may be challenging. Accurate input data is vital for reliable results in radiation simulations.

Hello everyone,
In the MCBEND simulation I've conducted, I have found the dose rate of a gamma source in microSieverts per hour (µSv/h). I also know the distance between the detector and the source. How can I calculate the source activity or strength from this information?
Thank you,
Best wishes

You need at least the specific gamma-ray constant for the source.
 
I have never heard of MCBEND but cannot see how it can calculate without the size, shape and orientation of the detector.
 
Hi everyone, I am doing a final project on the title " fundamentals of neutrino physics". I wanted to raise some issues with neutrino which makes it the possible way to the physics beyond standard model. I am myself doing some research on these topics but at some points the math bugs me out. Anyway, i have some questions which answers themselves confounded me due to the complicated math. Some pf them are: 1. Why wouldn't there be a mirror image of a neutrino? Is it because they are...
