Talk:Gamma ray spectrometer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article's title is severely misleading. Gamma-ray spectrometry is a widespread technique in fundamental nuclear physics under conditions having almost nothing to do with the application featured in this article, other than use of some of the same hardware. A different, more descriptive title should be found. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 04:27, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Exactly what I was thinking. Most of the current material should be made a subsection of this article (under "applications") or even split out into a different article (something like Gamma ray spectrometry in space exploration). —Keenan Pepper 02:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Gamma-ray spectrometry is also used for remote sensing for distribution of thorium, potassium and uranium on the Earth's surface, in fields such as geology and environmental science.Afrotrance 03:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Confusing title. Should be a disambiguation at the least between generic gamma ray spectrometers and this specific GRS (which also appears to measure neutrons)Judge Nutmeg 04:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
