Simulation technique for extrapolation curves in 4πβ-γ coincidence counting method using EGS5 code

A simulation technique was developed for the extrapolation technique in 4πβ-γ coincidence counting method. Simultaneous emissions of β and γ rays were calculated using EGS5 code to obtain coincidence counting between both β and γ channels. The simulated extrapolation curves were compared with experimental data obtained with (134)Cs measurements using a plastic scintillator in the β channel. The variation of the extrapolation curves with γ-gate configuration was investigated by the simulation technique.
