Gamma spectroscopy is the science (or art) of identification and/or quantification of radionuclides by analysis of the gamma-ray energy spectrum produced in a gamma-ray spectrometer. It is a widely used technique, well illustrated by the following list of examples:
- Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring
- Health Physics Personnel Monitoring
- Reactor Corrosion Monitoring
- Nuclear Materials Safeguards and Homeland Security
- Forensics and Nuclear Forensics
- Materials Testing
- Geology and Minerology
- Nuclear Medicine and Radiophamaceuticals
- Industrial Process Monitoring
