The material covers all aspects of high resolution gamma spectrometry including:

  • interaction of gamma radiation with materials
  • interaction of gamma radiation with germanium detectors and their surroundings
  • shielding of detectors
  • electronics needed with a full guide to the pulse shapes expected
  • setting up your system interactively with a full system simulation
  • spectrum analysis with a step by step approach to energy calibration, detector efficiency, peak area measurements etc.
  • statistical approach to uncertainties, critical limit, limit of detection etc.
  • the gamma ray spectrum from a real detector, simulated and for typical calibration sources
  • plus much more, including questions for you to test your progress

Samples of three aspects of the system are available for you to try:

  • SAMPLE 1: Interaction of gamma radiation with lead shielding and the use of graded shielding
  • SAMPLE 2: Pulses from the preamplifier and spectroscopy amplifier
  • SAMPLE 3: Identification of the components that make up a spectrum - a typical question
