Abstract

Programs for analysis of γ-γ matrices and γ-γ-γ cubes from HPGe coincidence experiments are described. The programs are intended primarily for high-spin spectroscopy studies. Users are able to inspect background-subtracted gated spectra, or combinations of such spectra, quickly and easily. The programs also make use of a proposed level scheme, provided by the user, to calculate an expected spectrum for comparison with the observed spectrum. Electron conversion coefficients, detection efficiency and γ-ray energy calibrations are included in the calculation. A graphics-based editor is included to allow fast and easy modification of the proposed level scheme, and least-squares fits to the matrix or cube can be performed to extract optimum values for the energies and intensities of the level scheme transitions.
