Abstract
Plastic scintillators have been extensively utilised for detecting radiation in many different kinds of applications. In actual measurement, poor detection performance can lead to low detection efficiency, increasing the risk of overlooking harmful radiation and causing mistakes in diagnosis or monitoring exposure levels. To mitigate these challenges, efforts are required to enhance the detection efficiency, necessitating the development of a robust and validated simulation model to expedite this work. The monte carlo method is used in this work to develop detector model and determine parameter of a detector exposed to radiation sources with energies from 100 to 1300 kev. The plastic detector performance was modeled using mcnp, which included gaussian energy broadening (geb) adjustment for obtaining responses. The simulated outcomes were then compared to actual experimental data to determine accuracy. This
