Originální abstrakt

To avoid inefficiency and inhomogeneity of BSE scintillation detection systems, efficient transport of photons from luminescent centres in a scintillator to a photocathode of a photomultiplier tube must be provided. Optimization of the photon transport of a rotationally symmetric Everhart-Thornley detector is quite a feasible task, because a code for the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is based on the system geometry which is a function of one variable coordinate. For such a rotationally symmetric detection system the previous MC code Scintil was developed in our laboratory. The Scintil code includes photon generation in a point source, mirror reflection by a metal coated surface, Fresnel reflection by a metal uncoated surface, Fresnel passage through the boundary of different materials, diffusion reflection and passage through a matted surface and optical absorption in material.
