GABRIELA (Gamma Alpha Beta Recoil Investigations with the Electromagnetic Analyzer) is a detection system installed at the focal plane of the SHELS (Separator for Heavy Elements Spectroscopy) recoil separator for gamma and internal conversion electron spectroscopy of heavy and superheavy nuclei. GABRIELA has recently been upgraded. The characteristics of the new setup are presented using the Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation toolkit and validated against experimental results. The impact of summing on the gamma-ray and electron detection efficiencies is discussed.
