The shape and size of a NaI (Tl) scintillator that should maximize response variation with γ-ray incident angle was estimated by analytical model calculation. It proved that, even for gamma rays of energy exceeding 1MeV, a slab detector measuring 50cm×50cm×5cm thick should present a ratio of at least 4 between maximum and minimum responses against incidence at different angles. For a sample case of 60keV gamma rays, estimation of the incident angle dependence by means of Monte Carlo simulation agreed well with experiment using a CZT detector. The counts from photoelectric peak varied with incident angle roughly along a sine curve. The foregoing finding served as basis for proposing a practical direction finder for γ-ray source operating on the principle of determining the source direction from variations in count with incident angle.
