Radioactive decay simulation with Geant4: experimental benchmarks and developments for X-ray astronomy applications

arXiv:1012.0139

Abstract

We present γ spectroscopy validation measurements for the Geant4 radioactive decay simulation for a selected range of isotopes using a simple experimental setup. Using these results we point out problems in the decay simulation and where they may originate from.
