Gamma Spectrometry Forum

A new version of OpenGammaSpec is available on sourceForge.net. The file Gamma.tar.bz2 is the Linux version, the file Gamma.zip is the Windows version. The version number is v08.2.9. Users of the Linux version can use the attached bash script upgradeGamma.sh. Note: If a folder named 'Gamma' still ex...

In gamma spectroscopy with scintillation detectors, escape events occur at photon energies > 1022 keV. Knowing the probability of occurrence of single or double escape events is of great importance for the interpretation of a spectrum, as they form a peak together with other emissions. The attached ...

Drawings, diagrams and additional Information you will find on SourceForge.net -> doc -> HowTo -> English -> Determining_the_geometric_efficiency.pdf

Determining the geometric efficiency is essential for calculating the total activity of a sample. This is to be demonstrated here as an example, for other experimental setups, the procedure can be adapted accordingly. In the present case, is used a cylindrical sample located beneath a cylindrical de...

New versions of OpenGammaSpec are regularly made available on sourceforge.net. The files are compressed, as Gamma.tar.bz2 for Linux and as Gamma.zip for Windows. Repeatedly reinstalling new versions is annoying, which is why an upgrade function has been provided on SourceForge.net. It is called Upgr...

Hello Steven

Thank you for your tips. I will do it so and write a separate post in the software section. Some minutes ago I have uploaded a actual Windows version.
