Abstract
A system for determining a composition of radionuclides in, for instance, a mineral-containing material by detecting gamma and/or X-ray radiation emitted by the nuclides is disclosed. To that end, the system has a detector unit which supplies an electrical signal containing information about the intensity and energy of the emitted radiation and a signal processing system by which these electrical signals are further processed for determine the composition mentioned. The signal processing system further has an A/D converter to which the electrical signals are applied and a first computer unit which further processes signals supplied by the A/D converter for the purpose of determining the composition mentioned.
