The Gamma Detector Response and Analysis Software Detector Response Function (GADRAS-DRF) application computes the response of gamma-ray and neutron detectors to incoming radiation and provides analysis on measured spectra. This manual provides step-by-step procedures to acquaint new users with the use of the application. The capabilities include characterization of detector response parameters, plotting and viewing measured and computed spectra, analyzing spectra to identify isotopes, estimating source energy distributions from measured spectra, and creating inject data. GADRAS-DRF can compute and provide detector responses quickly and accurately, giving users the ability to obtain usable results in a timely manner (a matter of seconds or minutes).
