Simulation of nuclear decay

The present article depicts a software module to prepare the particles and quanta emitted during the disintegration of nuclides with complex decay schemes. This program is particularly useful for Monte Carlo simulations involving detectors showing pulse-summation effects. It generates the decay-scheme dependant input to trace the interactions of the emitted particles (and the secondary particles created) with a particular detector; then the simulation code produces emission and energy-deposition spectra for the chosen radionuclides.

Simulation of the response of the IG11 4pigamma ionization chamber using GEANT Monte Carlo code

The response of the Centronic IG11 4pigamma ionization chamber filled with argon at 2 MPa pressure has been calculated by means of the GEANT Monte Carlo code and compared with experimental results in the range of photon energies from 40 keV to 2 MeV. The effect of density variations or thickness of the main components on the sensitivity have been investigated as well as source displacements. The sensitivity to electrons has been evaluated.
