GAMMA-RAY SPECTROMETRY METHOD Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01V5/04 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: gamma-ray spectrometry method, which involves measuring energy and line intensity of a gamma-rays detected by a semiconductor detector, is characterised by that the energy is measured using the peak position of the line and the intensity of said line is measured using the detection intensity of said spectral line in a loss hump (i.e. the spectral region of the detected radiation with energy from zero to maximum recoil electron energy), arising during Compton scattering of a gamma-ray photon in the detector, followed by exit of the scattered photon from the detector.

EFFECT: reduced statistical fluctuation of pulse count.
