DCC Simulation (DCC_SIM) Test software routines at higher count rates than currently
achievable in hardware. TEST ENTIRE SOFTWARE PACKAGES.
Simple Nuclide Single branch ray or conversion electron Constant Decay Rate
Simple “spectral” shapes NOT using “Fermi” theory for spectra Rectangular or triangular shapes
KNOWN activity, extrapolation fit parameters Not realistic, but KNOWN properties ! Quality Assurance of Analysis Code Walk before we run !
DCC Simulation Program (“DCC_SIM”)Simplified list of Model Inputs
Simulated Pulse Shapes
Simulated Pulse Shapes
Based on SIMPLIFIED model of shaping amplifier
Pulse Pile Up with clipping to 12 bits
Simulated Decay Timing
Poisson Process (rate = A0)
Exponentially distributed intervals between successive disintegrations.
Summation of all previous intervals yields decay “time”.
Simulated Pulse Timing
Time of decay modified addition of
Constant Delay Random Time Jitter
time distribution (TAC)
Detection Efficiencies
Summing of contributions in channel : (only 1 count)
Computer Discrimination
Survival of Beta Spectral ComponentsRectangular Spectrum : f (z) = 1/NRectangular Spectrum : f (z) = 1/N
Survival of Beta Spectral ComponentsRectangular Spectrum : f(z) = 1/NTriangular Spectrum : f(z) = 2z/N 2
Survival of Beta Spectral ComponentsTriangular Spectrum : f (z) = 2(N - z)/N 2 Rectangular Spectrum : f (z) = 1/N
Survival of Beta Spectral ComponentsTriangular Spectrum : f (z) = 2(N - z)/N 2 Triangular Spectrum : f (z) = 2z/N 2
Example Simulation: Triangular and spectra

Simulation Parameters
Recommendations
Use my simulation program in a series of tests on various software routines from different NMIs.
