Abstract:The true coincidence effect is studied in two High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors for a variety of isotopes, source geometries and source to detector configurations, via computational tools based on Monte–Carlo simulations. Τhe upgraded patch of MCNP code MCNP–CP and the 2018 version of PENELOPE, which take into account the decay scheme of each cascade emitter, are used to calculate the Full Energy Peak Efficiency (FEPE) for the corresponding gamma-ray energies. The true coincidence correction (TCC) factor … Show more
