Gamma spectrometry [r]: Methods in nuclear chemistry and radiation analysis that measure the characteristics of quanta of gamma rays from a source; the analysis is not direct on the gammas, but typically on an effect caused by them, such as the rates and energy distribution of specific gamma quanta impacting on a scintillating material and producing light to be measured
