  • Abstract
    In this paper the application of Monte Carlo simulation for standardizing 111In in a 4π(PC)-NaI(Tl) coincidence system is presented. The Monte Carlo simulation is applied using ESQUEMA code, which was developed by the Nuclear Metrology Laboratory (LMN) in IPEN, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The experimental results obtained by means a linear fitting were compared with those determined by the Monte Carlo prediction and they are in good agreement within the uncertainty.
