Introduction to BeqMoni

[Amber]

Hi Guys,

I am no expert on Windows software, and I am not qualified to check the authenticity of this cloned version of BQM, therefore I won't endorse it on my website until we have some more feedback from other users. Just being cautious...

Love to hear from anyone who has installed it and used it.

This has to be clarified with Maxim's ATOM project users from Russia. In fact these changes grew from there.
Today i released new feature: calibration chart :) https://youtu.be/BhelJWTT_ew

Today i released new feature: calibration chart :) https://youtu.be/BhelJWTT_ew

Looks very nice, I like it!

Some cosmetic changes with several bug fixes :)

Meanwhile some small changes: https://youtu.be/9KqKLEL-vPk

Isotopes form: sorting Energies, Half-Lives.
Calibration chart - add MSE/WMSE calibration quality check.
Weight and channel diff on Mouse event for CalibrationPoint.

Nice that you keep improving this program, Albert, I like becqmoni. I trusted you and installed it :P Good job! Since I understand well enough russian, I benefit from your videos with explanations too, but it may be better if you speak in all of them, because even when quite easy understandable changes and features are shown, I need to watch it 3 times. Well, the others may be smarter than me and may not care :)
P.S. It will be kind from you if you add your real name here, as you did in youtube.

Hi Svilen.
Unfortunately i cannot record voice in all videos, because in my house there are many children and silence left this place long time ago :))
These several videos, which recorded with voice - THE rarest moments.
You could ask questions as well on youtube under video comments or here, or wherever - i'll answer on them.

P.S. Real name added.

[Svilen]

Oh, I understand :)
Thank you Albert!

If anyone knows how to create simulations in GEANT4, please let me know.
I want to add the detector efficiency functionality to BecqMoni.
The task is as follows (in GEANT4 paradigm): there is a world, there is a crystal (for example, CsI) and there is a source (you can use a point source for simplicity).
It is necessary to understand how many of the gamma quanta of a particular energy (for example, 662 keV) were registered on the crystal. I write some code by my own, but I'm not an expert in GEANT4.

Small update. Thanks to Svilen for the idea!

Add NuclideDefinition Visibility property in library.
Disabled Nuclide definition disappears from:
- peak finder
- show isotopes on mouse cursor
- list isotopes in ROI definition form

P.S.
Fix. Spectrum start exception while AudioSpectrometer is inaccessible as audio device.

I am afraid that I am unfamiliar with GEANT4 (other than knowing of its existence). I did find the GEANT4 webpage and a number of other related pages (there is quite a steep learning curve with such a powerful program!).

I did learn and use MCNP (a powerful monte-carlo radiation transport program from the Los Alamos National Lab). Alas, the US Dept of Energy has made this program somewhat expensive and difficult to obtain unless one is affiliated with particular US nuclear programs or universities. There are a number of free resources that one can access to learn about monte-carlo methods. A very good text book is Reactor Shielding for Nuclear Engineers by Schaeffer, 1973.

There is an MCNP website, which has some useful, freely downloadable documents -

One document in particular is a compilation of material compositions including that of many scintillation detectors -
