Modelling of dynamic experiments in MCNP5 environment

The design of radiation measurement systems includes a modelling phase which ascertains the best 3D geometry for a projected gauge. To simulate measured counts by a detector, the widely-used rigorous phenomenological model is used. However, this model does not consider possible source or/and detector movement during a measurement interval. Therefore, the phenomenological model has been successfully modified in order to consider such a displacement during the time sampling interval in dynamic experiments. To validate the proposed model, a simple radiation system was accurately implemented in the MCNP5 code. The experiments confirmed the accuracy of the proposed model.
