This paper describes a system built around the Computing Gamma Spectrometer (PSA) LEA 74-008. The software primarily supports high-resolution gamma-ray spec troscopy using either a high-purity intrinsic germanium detector (HPGe) or a lithiumdrifted germanium detector [Ge(Li)].
We have established an experimental facility at LLL to characterize radiation fields produced by a variety of sources and transmitted through various shielding materials. We discuss specific techniques for acquiring and reducing continuous gainma-ray energy spectra, including NaKTB) detectors. Use of several detector sizes allowed us to study a wide variety of source in tensities and to calculate response matrices for a number of collimated detector configurations. We describe a computer program to perform the data reduction by an iterative unfolding process. Our reduction technique discloses the continuous gamma-ray energy spectrum over the range 0.1 to 8 MeV as opposed to the traditional peak intensity analysis. Pable 1.
