摘要
Typical applications of Monte Carlo simulations in low-level gamma-ray spectrometry are presented. The current state of coincidence summing computations is briefly reviewed. Several problems concerning direct computation of the efficiency by Monte Carlo simulations are discussed. (c) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
