Abstract

The possibility of using radioactive sources to measure atomic number Z and the amount of substance nD of unknown objects is considered. An experiment is performed with test samples of different materials exposed to γ-rays from Cs-137 and Co-60 sources. The range of the method’s applicability in measuring atomic number Z and amount of substance nD is shown.
