3. Detector response (detector perturbation effects)

Detector size:

a) Volume averaging (the size of the detector relative to the size

of the radiation field)

Detector composition:

b) Density of sensitive volume of the detector

c) Atomic properties of the sensitive volume of the detector

d) Influence of detector components other than its sensitive

volume (extra-cameral components)
