Abstract
The system relates to 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. To that end, the system comprises a detector unit (2,6, 10) 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 determining the composition mentioned. According to the invention, the signal processing system further comprises an A/D converter (14) to which the electrical signals are applied and a first computer unit (26) which further processes signals supplied by the A/D converter for the purpose of determining the composition mentioned.
