1. New Utility

The new utility is developed on the basis of the Handbook of nuclear spectrometry of J.Kantele (Academic Press Limited , 24-28 Oval Road, London NW1 7DX, Copyright 1995 ) within the framework of the program LISE.
Nowadays there are transferred from the handbook package in language C++ and are adapted under Windows 55 programs from 58. In a near future the translation of all other programs is planned.

The new utility is available in the menu "Calculations" or the icon   in the toolbar of the LISE code.
Also the Handbook can be started from the folder LISE in the START-Programs menu.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Handbook of Nuclear Spectrometry distills material from many disparate sources and brings widely applicable nuclear spectrometry information into an easily accessible form. The Handbook is divided into two parts. Part I consists of the text which covers such fundamental topics as atomic phenomena, interaction of radiation with matter, and beta-ray, conversion-electron, and gamma-ray spectrometry. To complement the text, Part II is a series of practical computer programs provided on an accompanying diskette. Part II is written in Microsoft BASICA and provides the user with a way to modify programs to meet their own specific needs. The Handbook includes formulae, tables, graphs, and extensive references which make it an invaluable resource for post-graduate nuclear science students, as well as nuclear physicists and chemists.
