We present an upgraded version of the Photon Counting Toolkit (PcTK), a publicly available MATLAB tool for the simulation of semiconductor-based photon counting detectors (PCD), which has been extended and validated to account for gallium arsenide (GaAs)-based PCD(s). The modified PcTK version was v...
