A generic isotope identification approach for nuclear instrumentation

Isotope identification is generally done from spectra from high intrinsic resolution such as germanium. A lot of approaches are proposed in the literature. Most of them are not efficient with poor energy resolution detectors such as non-loaded scintillators. The proposed approach is a new isotope identification principle to deal with the overall range of nuclear detectors. The proposed method allows the identification of isotopes using detectors with poor intrinsic resolution and lower counting than the existing techniques.
