Definitions
- the present invention relates to a spectroscopy system for detecting the presence of at least one source of particles.

- the invention applies to the field of radiological detection, in particular to the detection of the presence of ⁇ radiation sources.
- An object of the invention is therefore to propose a spectroscopy system which is able to deliver information for detecting the presence of at least one source to be detected more quickly and reliably than known systems, even in the event of low signal to noise ratio.
- the subject of the invention is a spectroscopy system of the aforementioned type, comprising a detection chain and a processing chain, the detection chain comprising a detector and being configured to deliver, to the processing chain, a detection signal comprising pulses each representative of the detection of a particle by the detector, the processing chain comprising:
- a memory configured to store a reference noise spectrum, equal to the expected spectrum of a noise detection signal, and at least one reference isotopic spectrum, each reference isotopic spectrum being equal to the spectrum of a detection signal isotopic associated with at least one corresponding predetermined source;

This has the effect of improving, compared to bilateral tests, the compromise between true detection rate and false alarm rate.
