Abstract
We developed a new method for measuring gamma-ray energies in the internal calibration of a radioactive source under investigation. The measurements w ere carried out with the spectrometer of delayed coincidences and an optica l delay line. This method allows the energies of the reference peak and the gamma-ray peak under investigation to be compared, even if they are close or coincide. The possibility of precise gamma-ray energy measurements is il lustrated with Co-60 and Eu-154 isotopes.
