Geo,

These ¡°peaks¡± look to be counting noise. The difference between Kb1 and Kb2 is just 0.013 while the peak difference is 0.08 keV

Charles,

In the chart below, ignore the intensity%- it has no meaning in this context, but the X-Ray transition energies do.

.

?

Check out the different K lines on the chart, what you are seeing as 2 peaks in your scan probably is 2 peaks. Ka1 is the one to the right (higher energy side)

?

When you have a tall photopeak like in your scan, also look 1.74 keV below to see the silicon "Si Escapae Peak", Normally it is very small.

Mn-57

Using a convex mount for your buttons is very interesting.? I may have to try that.

?

Is your input rate always so high?? Mine is typically in the 10 to 20 range.? Have you done the Tune Slow/Fast Thesholds?

?

The attached plot shows a bifurcation of the FeKa1 peak that should go away with higher counts.

Taray,

Thanks for the post.? I am in the process of coming up with a similar Am241 device.? It is great that you found that Nickel line with your meteorite, that is useful information also.
