A simulation approach DOSRZnrc code was employed to compute absorbed dose and kerma for mono-energetic photons at energies 0.5, 1, 10, 25, and 30 MeV and spectrum Co-60 and Cs-137 with the number of histories optimized to ensure a relative statistical uncertainty of less than 0.5<span>(%)</span>.

It is shown that a tracker with a two-layer construction of coordinate planes cannot unambiguously provide information for track reconstruction because of the large range of angles of incidence of the tracks into the detector. A reconstruction method is proposed for a layered detector made of drift tubes, in which the layers are not combined into coordinate planes, and only signals from individual detector layers are used for track reconstruction. In order to find the optimal geometry of the tracker being designed, the efficiency and accuracy of track reconstruction are calculated for 20 different geometric configurations of the detector with different levels of the accuracy of its electronics. The sufficiency of the modelling methodology used is demonstrated. The simulation results indicate the possibility of creating a tracker with single-layer coordinate planes, which is analogous in accuracy to a detector consisting of perfect two-layer coordinate planes.</p>","PeriodicalId":711,"journal":{"name":"Moscow University Physics Bulletin","volume":"81 2","pages":"277 - 285"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148299900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
