ABSTRACT

The most accurate method for the analysis of complex gamma ray spectra from scintillation detectors is least squares method. The major requirement of this method is individual standard spectra of all nuclides expected in the complex spectrum which is not possible and feasible for some nuclides. In the present work, an approach of using simulated standard spectrum of the radionuclides for the least squares analysis is studied. The paper describes the methodology used for the generation of simulated spectrum which is the main objective, and validation of results using standard sources in the Sodium Iodide (NaI(Tl)) based gamma ray spectrometer.
