title: On the Monte Carlo simulation of HPGe gamma-spectrometry systems.
abstract: Typical applications of Monte Carlo simulations in low-level gamma-ray spectrometry are presented. The current state of coincidence summing computations is briefly reviewed. Several problems concerning direct computation of the efficiency by Monte Carlo simulations are discussed.
