RN_plot_spectrum: Plot radionuclide emission spectra.

In radsafer: Radiation Safety

Plot radionuclide emission spectra.

Description

Plot emission spectra based on radionuclide and desired radiation type. Plot on log axes if desired. Select cutoff value for probability optional, included at 1% by default. Plot includes energy times probability for dosimetric importance comparisons.

Usage

RN_plot_spectrum(
  desired_RN,
  rad_type = NULL,
  photon = FALSE,
  log_plot = 0,
  prob_cut = 0.01
)

Arguments

desired_RN	Radionuclide in form "Ba-137m"
rad_type	Radiation type, leave NULL if selecting photons or select from: 'X' for X-Ray 'G' for Gamma 'AE' for Auger Electron 'IE' for Internal Conversion Electron 'A' for Alpha 'AR' for Alpha Recoil 'B-' for Beta Negative 'AQ' for Annihilation Quanta 'B+' for Beta Positive 'PG' for Prompt Gamma 'DG' for Delayed Gamma 'DB' for Delayed Beta 'FF' for Fission Fragment 'N' for Neutron
photon	Use only if you do not specify rad_type. TRUE will select all rad_types that are photons. Note that if you select rad_type = "G", for example, you will not get X-rays or Annihilation Quanta (the 0.511 MeV photon from pair annihilation).
log_plot	0 = no log axes, 1 (default) = log y-axis, 2 = log both axes. This argument is ignored for B- plots.
prob_cut	minimum probability defaults to 0.01

Value

plot of spectrum
