$$gamma$$線スペクトロメトリ法に基づき体積試料の放射能を定量する際、放射能測定器の効率校正を行う必要がある。標準点状線源を用いて効率校正を精度よく行うための新たな方法(代表点校正法)をこれまでに開発し、今回、代表点校正法を円滑に実施するための計算コードとしてCREPT-MCNP(Calibration Code for the Representative Point Calibration Method with MCNP)を整備した。この計算コードは、体積試料の計数効率曲線に等価な計数効率曲線を与える点(代表点)を検出器周辺に見いだし、代表点で測定した計数効率に対し自己吸収効果の補正を行うことにより目的とする計数効率を得る。評価対象はp型及びn型Ge半導体検出器により測定可能な、エネルギー範囲が20keVから2MeVの$$gamma$$線である。本報はCREPT-MCNPの機能と使用方法、評価精度の検証例についてとりまとめたものである。

Radioactivity measurements for volume samples are usually based on the $$gamma$$-ray spectroscopy method, and the measurements involve the efficiency calibration for a radioactivity measuring instrument. A novel method which enables precise efficiency calibrations with a standard point source has been proposed, and a calculation code for implementing the method has been newly developed. The code is named CREPT-MCNP (Calibration Code for the Representative Point Calibration Method with MCNP). The code finds out the position of the representative point which is intrinsic to each shape of volume sample and gives the self-absorption factors to make correction on the efficiencies measured at the representative point with a standard point source. It can deal with $$gamma$$-rays between 20 keV and 2 MeV with p- or n-type germanium semiconductor detectors. This report describes features of CREPT-MCNP code, accompanied by its user's manual and validation examples.
