gamma spectroscopy

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-012017

The analysis of photons (X-ray or Gamma) emitted from radioactive atoms as they undergo transformations to more stable atoms. The RadNet Fixed (Stationary) Monitors contain a detector system that provides information on the quantity and energy of photons emitted by radioactive material captured on the air filter (and the surroundings). These data may then be used by trained spectroscopists to identify the radioactive atoms that are emitting gamma radiation.
