  • Abstract
    A true gamma-radiation spectrometer is described which utilizes a standard 3- by 3-in. diam NaI(Tl) scintillation detector and outputs the gamma spectrum (in photons MeV-1 cm-2 sec-1) with all spurious peaks and tails corrected. A small digital computer is utilized to accumulate the pulse-height distribution and simultaneously perform a digital filtering operation in real time.
