摘要
In this work we present the experimental and Monte Carlo calibration of the Compton-suppressed spectrometer of the IAEA's Environment Laboratories, Monaco. For this purpose the GESPECOR code was extended to include the specific geometry and to implement the veto logic, integrated with the coincidence summing module of the code. The simulation results are in good accordance with experimental calibrations. The code is fast and user-friendly, able to evaluate the efficiency and the correction factors for nuclides with arbitrary complex decay schemes. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
