SIMULATE Program: a gamma ray spectroscopy tool

Creators

Description

A software package which simulates the virtual creation of gamma ray spectra emitted from a combination of radioactive sources, as seen by a semiconductor or scintillation detector, is presented . It partially utilizes Monte Carlo techniques based on the physics of gamma ray spectroscopy. In addition, certain algorithms are used to compensate for the premature termination of the fate of the detected photons of any particular energy
