ResumoA program is presented that calculates the counting efficiency in liquid scintillation systems for electron capture nuclides coincident with gamma or isomeric transitions. Compton interaction probabilities are not negligible for KL or KM photons in nuclides with atomic numbers greater than 30. This program uses Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the Compton spectrum of these photons for the vial geometry.
