Gamma-ray spectrometer
A gamma-ray spectrometer (GRS) is an instrument for measuring the distribution (or spectrum —see figure ) of the intensity of gamma radiation versus the energy of each photon . The study and analysis of gamma-ray spectra for scientific and technical use is called gamma spectroscopy , and gamma-ray spectrometers are the instruments which observe and collect such data. Because the energy of each photon of EM radiation is proportional to its frequency, gamma rays have sufficient energy that they are typically observed by counting individual photons.

Gamma Ray Spectrometers (GRS) are instruments that use the gamma-ray part of the spectrum to look for the presence of 20 elements from the periodic table , and have been used in the exploration of Mars , the Eros asteroid and the Moon [1] . They are usually associated with neutron detectors that can look for water and ice in the soil by measuring neutrons . They are able to measure the abundance and distribution of about 20 primary elements of the periodic table, including silicon , oxygen , iron , magnesium , potassium , aluminum , calcium , sulfur , and carbon . Knowing what elements are at or near the surface will give detailed information about how planetary bodies have changed over time. To determine the elemental makeup of the Martian surface, the Mars experiment used a gamma ray spectrometer and two neutron detectors. |
