last update of this page: 31.10.2003

Here you find the list of the prominent lines seen in-flight and of the sources which have been used during the Bruyeres-le-Chatel calibration, the SVT-E and the Reference Orbit Test (R.O.T.) of INTEGRAL/SPI. For more detailed line lists check The Lund/LBNL Nuclear Data Search or the Decay Data page of Berkeley National Laboratory (find further links at the bottom of this page). You can use the prepared blc_sa parameter files for your own analysis (copy them into your $PFILES directory to blc_sa.par).
