Abstract
UNISAMPO is a new member of the SAMPO family of gamma-spectrum analysis programs running on Linux. Its portable graphical user interface relies on Tcl/Tk running an X-client, which obtains services from an X Window System server, allowing natural access to UNISAMPO over the Internet. UNISAMPO features a scripting ability for analyses of thousands of spectra. Peak search is based on stringent statistical criteria and peak fitting has optional step function under each peak of a multiplet. UNISAMPO will analyze 32K spectra with up to 2500 peaks, and 32 peaks in a single multiplet extending over a fitting interval of 1024 channels. It has an interface to the expert system SHAMAN for extensive peak interpretation and radionuclide identification.
