GAMMA SPECTRA DATA PROCESSING PROGRAMS,
Abstract
The FORTRAN IV programs for processing spectra (number of events per energy interval histograms) include: GAMMA, which normalizes the zero intercept and energy per interval; SPEC, which determines quantitatively the redioisotopes in the spectra by sequential subtraction of standard spectra; MONTE CARLO, which produces standard spectra for a given detector and incident energy; and MERGE, which combines standard spectra of various energies to duplicate the spectrum of a radioisotope. GAMMA, MERGE, AND SPEC will work for any consistent set of histograms, while MONTE CARLO contains parameters for a sodium iodide (thallium) gamma-ray detector in an infinite medium containing a uniformly distributed source. The programs are used to analyze the concentration of radioisotopes in water. (Author)
