Abstract
A code is presented to predict the statistics of transient responses to gamma radiation of rectangular solid state devices. Use of the chordlength distribution and assuming the radiation flux isotropic obviates use of Monte Carlo techniques, so that the code runs fast enough for exploratory use. It is discovered that, for small detectors, relatively large-area non-square thin detectors are advantageous.
