Nuclear spectroscopy is a method which allows to measure energy and activity of radioactive radiation. Result of spectroscopy is energy spectrum. Analysis of this spectrum is typically used to determine identity and quantity of sources of radiation present in sample. In our institute in most cases is spectroscopy used to determine qualities of sensor as are energy resolution or charge collection efficiency, etc.

Equipment necesary for nuclear spectroscopy:

• sensor
• semiconducting (e.g. Si, SiLi, HPGE(=High Purity GErmanium), GaAs, CdTe)
• scintilating (NaI, BaF, etc.)
• etc.



• amplifier



• MCA(=Multi-Channel Analyzer) or ADC(=Analog-Digital Converter)



• software
