Why Anti-Compton Shields Matter: A Geant4 Study of HPGe Clover Spectroscopy
This post presents an educational Geant4 simulation of a hypothetical HPGe clover detector array. It is designed to clearly illustrate key detector-physics concepts in γ-ray spectroscopy: Compton scattering, addback, and anti-Compton background suppression using BGO shields and an active collimator. The central aim of this study is not geometric sophistication, but spectral quality. In particular, […]
