As in the number of absorbed 662 kev gammas that end up in the photopeak? The easiest way would be to count the number of counts in your photopeak and divide it by the number of gamma rays emitted, absorbed, etc. Whichever efficiency you are looking for.
You could also look at the number of compton scatters vs photoelectric absorptions, etc using conditionals in your stepping action
Actually, I am a rookie and still learning geant4. Basically, I wanted to ask whether I can calculate photopeak with any specific function or not.
Also, I am currently applying both the photoelectric effect and the Compton effect for gamma particles in my physics list. Should I apply them individually?
You don’t need to apply them separately. Are you generating photons? Or just looking at energy deposition?
What you need to do to generate your spectrum is to record either the number of photons collected, or the energy deposited, and histogram it using analysismanager. You can record the energy deposited per step in your stepping action and then record the entire energy deposition from a gamma ray at the end of your event action
I am working with gamma particles. I have created a scintillator of LaBr3 and thrown gamma particles from outside the detector.
Also, if using the function GetTotalEnergyDeposit() will give me the photopeak, then how should I calculate number of gamma rays depositing Non-zero energy values?
