Abstract

A FORTRAN IV program for a PDP-9 computer, with 16 K storage capacity, is developed performing automatic analysis of complex γ-spectra, taken with Ge(Li) detectors. It searches for full energy peaks and evaluates the peak areas. The program features an automatically performed isotope identification. It is written in such a flexible manner that after reactor irradiation, spectra from samples of any composition can be evaluated for activation analysis.
