Abstract

The widely used SAMPO Ge(Li) and HPGe gamma spectrum analysis program has been adapted to IBM Personal Computers in a thoroughly revised version MicroSAMPO. The program is intended for peak search, peak fitting, nuclide identification and activity calculations. The use of calibrated peak shape functions for peak area determination makes it possible to resolve complex multiplets with strongly overlapping peaks. Menu-driven user interface, colour graphics diplays, semi-automatic calibrations and interactive options have been designed to make the program more user-friendly. It is well suited for both spectroscopic research and routine analysis.
