Simulation of nuclear decay

The present article depicts a software module to prepare the particles and quanta emitted during the disintegration of nuclides with complex decay schemes. This program is particularly useful for Monte Carlo simulations involving detectors showing pulse-summation effects. It generates the decay-scheme dependant input to trace the interactions of the emitted particles (and the secondary particles created) with a particular detector; then the simulation code produces emission and energy-deposition spectra for the chosen radionuclides.
