A reliable detector model is needed for Monte Carlo efficiency calibration. A LaBr(Ce) detector model was optimized and verified using different radioactive sources (Am,Ba,Cs,Co andEu) and geometries (point, extended and surface). PENELOPE and MCNP were used for Monte Carlo simulations. A good agreement was observed between simulated and experimental full energy peak efficiencies (FEPE) as their mean relative difference was 2.84% ± 1.93% and 2.79% ± 1.99% for PENELOPE and MCNP simulation, respectively. The differences between simulated FEPEs of two Monte Carlo codes were negligible except for low energies (< 100 keV).
