✦ Synopsis

A Monte Carlo simulation approach to solve the problem of measuring volume sources in gamma-ray spectrometry is described. The simulation package PENELOPE, with a cylindrical geometry tool was used to model two measurement systems and to calculate the detection efficiency for volume sources of g emitters affected by coincidencesumming effects. g-Ray spectra and experimental detection efficiencies from multi-g emitting nuclides as 60 Co, 88 Y, 134 Cs, 152 Eu and 166m Ho are compared to the simulation results.

When coincidence summing correction factors for extended samples are calculated in gamma-ray spectrometry from full-energy-peak and total efficiencies, their variation over the sample volume needs to be considered. In other words, the correction factors cannot be computed as if the sample were a poi
