A Computer System for Radionuclide Analysis

An interactive computer system for the acquisition and reduction of data for activation analysis studies has been developed. It is automatic, but achieves considerable flexibility by allowing the researcher, who need not be familiar with computers, to direct the progress of the analysis. Hardware and software form an integrated system which allows the construction and maintenance of a library of standards, acquires and manipulates data under user control, and performs the calculations for quantitative analysis of trace element concentrations.
