title: Measurement function for the activities of multi-gamma-ray emitters in gamma-ray spectrometric measurements.
abstract: In gamma-ray spectrometric measurements the background is usually taken into account by conducting measurements on a blank sample. However, this method is not appropriate if many different kinds of samples are measured and several types of detectors are used. In such cases it is easier to measure accurately the activities of the blank materials separately and then to subtract the activities of the blank sample from the total sample activities. In order to do this, the measurement function for the activity calculation must be modified.
