Abstract

The transfer of sophisticated minicomputer gamma spectral analysis software to make a personal-computer-based gamma spectroscopy system more capable is described. The personal computer uses 512 kbytes of RAM and a 20-Mbyte hard disk. Spectral analysis uses algorithms adapted from a minicomputer version of the GAUSS V code and optimized for use on a personal computer. Particular care was taken to optimize the peak search and baseline determination functions. Correction for background peak contributions to the spectra is available. Detection limit values are calculated for specified nuclides that are not detected by the measurement. Utilities available include nuclide library editing, energy calibration, and efficiency calibration. >
