Scientific paper

With Thick Target experiments basic features of the remote sensing method 'Planetary Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy' were simulated at an accelerator. Basalt and iron targets of different compositions were irradiated with energetic protons and gamma-ray spectra were measured, simultaneously. To evaluate the analytical technique, the geometry of the experimental setup was modeled and the gamma ray fluxes were calculated by using Monte Carlo transport codes. The comparison of measured gamma-ray fluxes with Monte Carlo calculated values shows, that most of the prominent gamma-ray lines can be reproduced in Monte Carlo calculations within 10%. _
