Quantus

Quantus is CAEN high performance software to make Quantitative Spectrometry with Hexagon digital MCA. It is powerful and flexible enough to support an enormous range of sample types and detector geometries, and can analyze any recorded gamma-ray spectrum for radionuclide identification and quantification.

Thanks to its multi-document design, Quantus can manage simultaneous multi-spectrum analyzation as well as multi-detector data acquisition. The advanced Graphical User Interface (GUI) is highly configurable for user needs: it incorporates tools for a wide range of analytical functions such as peak search, continuum subtraction, peak qualification, automatic ROI location, energy calibration with visual interaction, FWHM calibration, efficiency calibration, nuclide identification, and activity calculation; permits visual distinction and marking of ROIs and peaks in the spectrum as well as multiple peak labelling implementation; provides advanced spectrum cursor showing satellite or spectrum artifacts.
Quantus supports high data management and great traceability. All information is saved into XML-formatted files (*.gxml). A spectrum can be imported from other formats like Ortec (*.chn) and Canberra (*.cnf) files, and N42.42 standard as well. The user can customize analysis reports, including fully colored and HTML-formatted tables.

Quantus is a multi-platform software compatible with Windows® and Linux™ operating systems.
