The task is to report at least all identified nuclides - perfect solution includes the identification of all significant peaks, including background peaks i.e. no background subtraction. All the relevant spectra is here: Spectra for calibration

1. Peak/nuclide identification exercise spectrum file: 12711G6.chn

  • Sample: sewage sludge sample in 0.5 l Marinelli beaker
  • Detector: coaxial, p-type HPGe detector, relative efficiency 39%
  • Energy calibration options
    1. spectrum: calibG6.chn, certificate of calibration source: certif.txt (files attached)
    2. energy calibration equation: E = 0.3337 * ch – 0.183 (E= energy in keV, ch = channel)
    3. channel-energy –pairs:
      • 140.2 – 46.54 keV
      • 1531.4 – 511.0
      • 4378.6 – 1460.8
      • 7835.4 – 2614.5


2. Peak/nuclide identification exercise; spectrum file: 11100B1.chn

  • sample: contaminated film dosimeter
  • detector: Canberra BEGe detector BE5030, relative efficiency 50%, thin entrance window,thin Ge dead layer
  • energy calibration options
    1. energy calibration equation: E = 0.3305 * ch + 0.7301 (E= energy in keV, ch = channel)
    2. channel – energy -pairs:
      • 67.7 – 23.1 keV
      • 516.3 – 171.3
      • 740.2 – 245.4
      • 1258.3 – 416.6
