✦ Synopsis

Program ACTIV is intended for precise analysis of y-ray and versity of Belfast, N. Ireland (see application form in this issue) X-ray spectra and allows the user to carry out the full cycle of automatic processing of a series of spectra, i.e. calibration, Computer: CDC-6500 (also IBM-360, PDP-l 1/70); Installa-automatic peak search, determination of peak positions and lion: JLNR areas, identification of the radioisotopes and the transformation of the areas found into masses of isotopes in the irradiated Operating system: SCOPE (CDC-6500), OS-360 (IBM), LAS sample. ACTIV uses a complex mathematical technique and is (PDP) oriented mainly to large computers, but using overlaid loading, it can be run also on small computers like the PDP 11/70. Programming language used: FORTRAN IV Compared with other similar programs, ACTIV has some advantages in accuracy of peak shape description and in the High speed storage required: 40 kwords (CDC), 200 kbytes reliability of the peak search and its least-square analysis. The (1MB), 32 kwords (PDP)

program can be used for the purpose of activation analysis.
