[Gate-users] surface finish in DETECT2000

[Simon Stute]

Hi,

A colleague how works with DETECT2000 gave me this answer:

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
METAL simulates a dielectric/metal interface : when a scintillation photon
arrives on this interface, it is whether reflected following Snell Descartes
laws with a probability of Rc or absorbed. Thus it simulates a perfect (if
Rc =1) reflector

PAINT simulates a lambertian reflexion = a perfect diffusor

Using METAL or PAINT, the optical index of the second medium is ignored.
This is not the case with POLISH or GROUND optical coatings where Fresnel
factor is taken into account. Rc is then the probability for the optical
photon to return in medium one in a lambertian way knowing it has already
been transmitted in medium two.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Cheers,
Simon
