Is there a website where I can find out what isotope I have if I know it's half life and energies of the beta particles emitted?

SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on identifying isotopes through their half-lives and emitted beta particle energies. Participants highlight the importance of gamma detection in neutron activation analysis. A specific resource, the University of Missouri's neutron activation analysis page, is recommended for further exploration of this topic.

In neutron activation usually you detect the gammas.
