Gamma and X spectrometry

Nuclear decays are often accompanied by the emission of de-excitation gamma radiation from the daughter nucleus. It can also result in an electronic rearrangement on the atomic scale, responsible for the emission of X-rays. Their energies are characteristic of the emitting radionuclide.

By tracking them by X or gamma spectrometry, ATRON Metrology enables the identification of emitting radionuclides and the determination of the activity concentration of the sample, liquid or solid, at thresholds as low as a few Bq/kg.
