Dear Priyada, it's difficult to understand from your explanation the geometry and size of your simulation, as well as the physics thresholds and options you activated.
In addition the picture you attach only includes simulation and RIPL-3 evaluation.
It would be helpful if you could send your input file.

Best,
Vittorio

The gamma peaks observed at 511 keV and 2.2 MeV peaks are narrow peaks though. A comparison of RIPL-3 database of 36Cl* decay is also compared in the Figure. RIPL-3 yield is given as Probability that a level decays through the given gamma-ray emission. It is the ratio of the total electromagnetic decay of the level to the intensity of the gamma-ray.​
