Abstract
For a set of a priori given nuclides taken from a work library, the co mputer program DIMEN, presented in this paper, uses median estimates o f the peak areas and estimates of their errors to produce a list of po ssible nuclides matching a gamma-line and some measure of the reliabil ity of this assignment. A Gaussian peak shape is used to analyze activ ity peaks. To ensure a reliable isotope identification, the program in cludes a wide database of nuclides, from Be-4(7) to Md-101(258), and o ptimizes the work library. The general structure of the program is des cribed.
