Abstract
A Monte Carlo simulation program is presented that enables one to find the optimal position of the HPGe (high-purity germanium) detector and to design various geometrical topologies for the shield and detector. The program has been tested up to 2.8 MeV and been compared very well with the experimental results [B. Lal and K.V.K. Iyenger, Nucl. Instr um. Methods 79 (1970) 19].
