Abstract

The original Gamma-ray Spectrum Catalogue, Ge(Li) and Si(Li) Spectrometry published in 1974 by R. L. Heath has been recreated and enhanced as an electronic file and is available on CD-ROM or over the Internet. This electronic version includes 1998 γ-ray data from the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File database as downloaded in 1998 as well as decay scheme drawings. Future developments of similar catalogues will include γ-ray spectra from radioactive decay with newer detectors and spectra from neutron interactions with elemental samples and separated isotopes. The electronic form of these catalogues will allow the creation of tutorials on γ-ray spectrometry and on the data included.
