Abstract
A deterministic code was developed for the calculation of true coincidence summing correction factors and has been incorporated into the EFFTRAN tool. The approach is aimed at the analysis of extended samples measured on p-type HPGe detectors in environmental gamma-ray spectrometry and was verified against the results of a state-of-the-art full Monte Carlo code. The two sets of results matched on average within 1%. Our code requires no measurements in addition to a standard full-energy-peak calibration, has a very short run time and takes into account the spatial variation of the efficiency across the sample volume. The EFFTRAN code is free software, available from the authors on request.
