Hello from Leipzig / Germany

My name is Christian Bechmann. I am a geologist and have been writing a program for evaluating gamma spectra for several years. You can find it on SourceForge.net -> OpenGammaSpec. It is not yet complete (and perhaps never will be). The program is licensed under the GPL, the source code is fully included, and I regularly publish updates. I develop it on Linux, but Windows and Raspberry Pi OS are also supported; however, the Linux version is always the most up-to-date. The focus is on the analysis of natural and processed natural samples, but artificial radionuclides are also supported.
We used gamma spectroscopy to detect the proportion of heavy minerals online during the gravimetric processing of fine sands. The primary focus was on rare earth minerals, which always contain a certain amount of radionuclides.
