Abstract :In this study, the application of a genetic algorithm for unfolding an experimentally obtained gamma spectrum is presented. Genetic algorithm and Richardson-Lucy deconvolution method is used to obtain detector response function. The proposed method was tested with a Co-60 and Cs-137 spectra obtained with NaI detector. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in unfolding measured spectra. The detector response function obtained with the genetic algorithm is comparable to the response function calculated from experimental data.Keywords : gamma spectrometry, deconvolution, genetic algorithm
