In the present work, we study the angular response of YVO4:Eu based FOD probe by using Monte Carlo simulations in order to explain the different attenuation process. Two geometrical configurations have been studied; 1mm diameter spherical detector, and 2mm length-1mm diameter cylindrical detector. Simulations have been achieved by using PENELOPE employing a hybrid virtual source model based on IAEA phase space database. Results have been compared with experimental measurements.
