This software uses Geant4 simulation toolkit for computing detector efficiency in terms of peak efficiency and gross efficiency. It is designed mainly for gamma detectors (NaI or HpGe) but can be extended for beta or any other radiation type. Radiation source can be frontal beam, point source, Sarpagan baker (cylinder) and Marinelli baker. Due to the nature of Monte Carlo simulation technique, all geometries involved must be well known for accurate results!

Can be used along with RadiationHelper (Beta_Gamma_MC module with Geant4 checkbox selected) but make sure that inside RadiationHelper folder there is MonteCarloPath.txt file having the first line pointing to the path of detector.exe folder (e.g. D:\\DetectorCalibration\\Build) and, if on Linux, next lines pointing to the Geant4 data.
RadiationHelper is found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/radiationhelper/

Source code included. Also, available on GitHub:
