RN_bin_screen_phot: Search for radioisotopes that dominate a specified energy bin

In radsafer: Radiation Safety

Search for radioisotopes that dominate a specified energy bin

Description

Identify photon emitters that represent a target range of energies, while screening out other selected energy ranges. This may be helpful for identifying radionuclides in low-definition spectroscopy or in selecting representative spectra for modeling shielding.

Usage

RN_bin_screen_phot(
  E_min = 0,
  E_max = 10,
  min_prob = 0,
  min_half_life_seconds = NULL,
  max_half_life_seconds = NULL,
  no_E_min = 0,
  no_E_max = 10,
  no_min_prob = 100,
  no_E_min2 = 0,
  no_E_max2 = 10,
  no_min_prob2 = 100
)

Arguments

E_min	target energy range minimum in MeV, default = 0
E_max	target energy range maximum in MeV, default = 10
min_prob	minimum probability of selected range with default = 0.
min_half_life_seconds	minimum half-life in seconds. Use multiplier as needed, e.g. 3 * 3600 for 3 hours. Default = NULL,
max_half_life_seconds	maximum half-life. See min_half_life_seconds.
no_E_min, no_E_min2	minimum energies in ranges to minimize in MeV, default = 0
no_E_max, no_E_max2	maximum energies in bins to minimize in MeV, default = 10
no_min_prob, no_min_prob2	minimum probability to minimize with default = 100 (no minimum).

Value

radionuclides that match selection criteria
