SUMMARY
The discussion centers on obtaining the gamma ray energy spectrum of Cadmium-109 (Cd-109) and Tin-113 (Sn-113) using a Sodium Iodide (NaI) detector. Participants share links to resources, including decay scheme tables and a gamma spectrum generator available on the Nucleonica portal. The generator allows users to create spectra for both isotopes quickly and efficiently. Additionally, a poor-quality image of the gamma spectra is referenced, indicating the need for better resources in the community.
