Many commercially available software packages have been created to analyze gamma-ray spectra, but their source code has generally not been shared, although some users may wish to add or modify certain functionality, which is impossible without access to the source code. This study therefore presents a new open-source software package for the analysis of gamma-ray spectra. The name of the software is GSA (Gamma-ray Spectra Analysis), the source code of which is freely available through the GitHub website (https://github.com/LAHCEN-EL-AMRI/Gamma-Spectra-Analysis). The main function of this initial version of the software is to locate peaks, calculate areas, and identify corresponding radionuclides. A future version will complement this by measuring the concentrations of radionuclide elements. The software was validated by comparing its analysis results with those generated by three other software programs, namely Genie 2000, Maestro, and FitzPeaks. All the formulas used are explained in this work, which could be useful for researchers or students looking to create their own software packages for analyzing gamma-ray spectra.

Liquid scintillator consists of an organic solvent and one or more scintillation solutes, which can emit light pulses after absorbing X- and γ-rays, or high-energy particles. It has the characteristics of strong neutron/γ-ray (n/γ) discrimination, short decay time, unlimited size and low cost, which plays an important role in high-sensitivity and large-scale radiation detection, especially in the construction and safe operation of nuclear facilities. However, the impact of solvent selection and moisture content on the fluorescence-scintillation properties of scintillators has not been adequately investigated in the literature.

This work describes the effects of using neutron irradiation on cellulose and non-destructive methods to analyze linen fabrics of high heritage value. For this purpose, 8 samples were irradiated with increasing doses of neutrons and gamma rays up to 166 kGy of total dose. The samples were characterized by techniques such as ultraviolet luminescence, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique.

We have examined a dosimetry characteristic of carbonate hydroxyapatite (CO3HAp), which is a dental bone graft material. The purpose of this work is to investigate the reproducibility and stability of radiation-induced radicals on CO3HAp samples and assess the feasibility of using these materials as dosemeters. CO3HAp samples were exposed to gamma rays with dose range from 10 to 10 000 Gy.
