Abstract
Test spectra for gamma-ray spectrum analysis software intercomparison purposes were created. The spectrum of Ra-226 With progeny was used fo r this purpose. Peak areas and positions in the test spectra were dete rmined from a spectrum measured under the same conditions but with a m uch longer counting time. Doublets with varying but known separation a nd peak area ratios were generated by adding spectra with selected cou nting limes after shifting one of them by a small integer number of ch annels. A set of seven test spectra and a calibration spectrum are now available for intercomparison purposes.
