Abstract: The present work reports on the results of Monte Carlo simulations performed with MCNP on an assembly of two HPGe detectors facing each other regarding detector efficiencies. Report is also made when a third detector is added to the previous configuration from below. Moreover cross talk between detectors is investigated and found of limited impact. The choice for an actual detector goes to the three detector configuration for accommodating most geometries while cost and engineering constrains remain acceptable.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
