Abstract
Monte Carlo methods have been used to determine the changes in the angular correlation function due to the absorption and scattering of gamma rays within the source volume. Cylindrical sources of diameter up to 2 cm containing 57Fe, 181Ta, 28Mg and 59Ni are considered with plastic scintillator and NaI detectors. In most cases the calculated difference between point- and extended-source geometry is significant. The influence of scatter is most marked on the isotropic term of the correlation function. Finite source volume effects are shown to be important even in TDPAC experiments.
