Summary

Description
English: Neutron capture gamma spectrum of a radioactive Am-Be-source, measured with a scintillation detector. This plot serves as an example for both the Compton effect and the pair production (electron-positron) effect in gamma spectroscopy.

Features:

  • 12C photopeak, theoretical 4438 keV; associated features
    • Compton edge, labeled
    • Single escape peak, theo. 3927 keV
    • Double escape peak, theo. 3416 keV
  • Unidentified background peaks
Deutsch: γ-Spektrum einer Am-Be-Quelle, gemessen mit einem Szintillationsdetektor. Dieses Diagramm dient als ein Beispiel für den Compton-Effekt und die Paarbildung.

This graph image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Am-Be-SourceSpectrum.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
