“…In the last 15 years, Hypermet PC [17][18][19] has been the ultimate evaluation software at the Budapest PGAA facility to analyze the prompt gamma spectra, allowing the generation of accurate nuclear data [20][21] and reliable element analysis results [22]. However, over the years, the above listed limitations of the software are realized and attempts were made to overcome them by developing an adequate piece of software.…”

Special spectrum regions, like around the annihilation peak at 511 keV, the boron peak at 478 keV, the Ge-triangles, as well as complicated multiplets or heavily distorted intense peaks require special attention when evaluating Prompt-gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA) spectra. A computer code and the related analytical practice of the Budapest PGAA facility is presented to improve the spectroscopy of these cases beyond the past practice relying on the well-known Hypermet-PC software.

“…The 2017 Lindstrom paper[Lindstrom and Révay 2017] provides a more recent review of PGAA and describes new instruments installed in the last 10 years in Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Japan, as well as US university facilities at Oregon State and the University of Texas. More established PGAA facilities in Budapest[Belgya 2012] [Szentmiklósi et al 2016], and at the National Institute of Standard and Technology in Maryland[Paul et al 2015] have led to breakthroughs in the last 5 years in archaeological research[Maróti et al 2020] [Livingston et al 2018] [Jwa et al 2018] [Kluge et al 2018], materials science[Otsuki et al 2019] [Miura and Matsue 2016] [Artnak et al 2018, food science[Fukushima et al 2014], and energy research[Stieghorst et al 2018].…”
