Event-restricted Monte Carlo simulations are used to simulate Compton telescope data sets. The data sets can be used for evaluation of different reconstruction techniques and to assess the relative performance of different telescope geometries. These simulations restrict computations to photons which interact in the detectors under specific conditions (i.e., produce "valid events"), thus significantly reducing computational time and effort. This paper describes the computer code, the restrictions that are imposed on the Monte Carlo modeling and presents some examples of reconstructed data sets that were produced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
