  • Abstract
    A simulation technique has been developed to study the performance of nuclide identifying gamma detector units operating under a variety of different conditions. The studies are related to nuclide identification based on a template matching algorithm which has been well established, in particular, for the analysis of low statistics measurements. Results are presented for hand-held devices equipped with NaI(Tl) and LaBr3(Ce3+) scintillation detectors, respectively
