放射性核素衰变查询工具软件decay

INTRODUCTION ============ RADIATION DECAY provides radioactive decay information for 497 radionuclides. Data provided include the half life, radioactive daughter nuclides, decay chain series, probabilities per decay, and Decay product energies for alphas, betas, positrons, electrons, X-rays, and photons. The radionuclide can be selected from an Alphabetical list, or selected from a Periodic Table. (These are available from the 'Select' Item of the menu bar.) Full coping to clipboard and output to printer is supported. The radioactive elements can be searched, to find an element that emitts a particular photon. For example, say a spectrum gives two photon peaks at 150 keV and 420 keV. The radioactive elements can be searched for photons that give a 150 keV, then the previously found elements can be searched for the 420 keV photon. Hence spectrums can be matched to photon emitters. This program is essentially a Windows duplicate of the shareware Dos program RADDECAY.EXE. The initial program was written by: 1987 Grove Engineering, Inc. 15215 Shady Grove Rd., Suite 202, Rockville, MD 20850! (301) 258-2727 PROGRAM OPERATION ================= To get started, copy the program DECAY.EXE and associated data files (*.REC) to a directory of your hardrive. This will be achieved by unziping the pkzip file to a directory. The *.REC files must be in the same directory as the executable DECAY.EXE. The program icon should then be inserted into a program group of Program Manger. This is achieved by selecting FILE then NEW then PROGRAM ITEM on the Program Mangers Menu bar. Choose BROWSE in the submenu, and located the program DECAY.EXE then choose OK. Start the program by double clicking on the program icon displayed by the program manager. Select the HELP menu item to obtain a windows help file for more information. REQUIREMENTS ============ The program is designed to run under MS-Windows 3.1 or 3.11 It is written in Borland Delphi, and hence requires no external DLL's. The program Requires that the eight data files, be in the same directory as the executable DECAY.EXE. The Data files are listed below. ALPHA.REC BETAS.REC ELECTRON. REC NUCLIDES REC PHOTONS. REC POSITRON.REC PROGENY. REC RADDAT. REC FREEWARE INFORMATION ==================== This program and data files are free-ware, hence the Authors gives permission for making copies of this program, and using the data files contained within, 'Without Restriction'. The program code (DECAY.EXE) is my work, yet the data files (*.REC) are from data files included with the DOS program RADDECAY released as free-ware by Grove Engineering. Grove Engineering gives permission for making copies of their program, and to use the data *.rec files of their program. As they state, 'Permission is granted for making copies of RADDECAY without any restrictions. Also when you create a program that uses any of the .REC files, you should acknowledge the Authoring'.copies of the data files.The authors being: a) Grove Engineering as the originators of the microcomputer formatted files, and b) RSIC as the original source of the data, If you use the program, it would be nice to get an Email. If I know that the program has use to others, I will continue to work on updates. Similarly; I would also like to know your comments, and any additions that would benefit the program. My Email address is: C.Hacker@eas.gu.edu.au LIABILLITY ========== No liabillity whatsoever for the program operation, use of the data, accuracy of the data, loss of information, or anything else is accepted by the author of this program. Also, neither the author of the original program or author of the radiation data tables offer any liabillity for their program or data. The authors being: a) Grove Engineering as the originators of the microcomputer formatted files, and b) RSIC as the original source of the data,
