QUALITY ASSURANCE FEATURES OF HYPERMET-PC

The gamma-ray spectrum analysis code HYPERMET-PC has been significantl y upgraded since its introduction in the first k(0)-Users Workshop (19 92). Some aspects of the implemented procedures in the new version 5.0 , such as the novel approach to handle tandem LFC spectra and the bene fit of using ortho-normal polynomials for fitting efficiency curves wi ll be outlined. Having realized the importance of quality assurance in applied gamma-ray spectrometry, additional utilities have been incorp orated for checking system parameters: nonlinearity, energy resolution , etc. The new Nuclide Identification routine makes the program suitab le for qualitative analysis both of NAA and PGAA type.
