Calculation of the energy absorption efficiency function of selected detector arrays using the MCNP code

• This report describes a method for the calculation of the energy absorption efficiency function. It gives a theoretical justification of the method and presents results obtained using the MCNP4C code for (i) an infinite slab, (ii) a detector array without a collimator, and (iii) a detector array with a collimator. Moreover, it discusses an alternative method of scoring of the energy imparted per unit surface area in CTmod. This report is a supplement to the article “CTmod—a toolkit for Monte Carlo simulation of projections including scatter in computed tomography” by A. Malusek, M. Sandborg, and G. Alm Carlsson.
