摘要
The GESPECOR software was extended to incorporate procedures for the computation of the efficiency transfer factor for cases of practical interest: (a) sources with identical geometry, but different matrices; (b) sources with similar (but not identical) geometry; and (c) transfer from a point source to a volume source. Fast and accurate algorithms, based on correlated sampling, were implemented for solving the first two cases. A procedure to take into account the imperfect charge collection in the detector was implemented. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
