Hello from Leipzig / Germany

Post by GeoFreelancer » 15 Mar 2026, 23:08

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.

Hello Christian,

Welcome to the forum, great to hear that you are working on open source community software. I have downloaded your software but honestly have not had tome to test it yet - too many projects in the pipeline.

I encourage you to write a separate post in the software forum with a more detailed description of how your software works with some screenshots to help readers understand the benefits.

Hello Steven

Thank you for your tips. I will do it so and write a separate post in the software section. Some minutes ago I have uploaded a actual Windows version.

Christian
