Two quick realities up front (transparent so your framework stays precise):
- A given element has many isotopes, each with its own γ-line set (or none for pure β/α emitters).
- The authoritative line lists live in ENSDF / IAEA LiveChart. I’ve produced a clean, 118-row element-level master with representative lines used in environmental monitoring, medical/industrial practice, or natural series (U/Th) backgrounds, and I computed the photon frequencies f=E/hf = E/h for every line. Where an element’s common isotopes don’t produce a canonical γ line, I annotate “no primary γ” (or that daughters carry the γ signature).

What’s inside (shape)
Each row has:
Element,ZAtmosphericForm(e.g., noble gas, volatile halogen (gas/aerosol), particulate/solid, mixed)RepresentativeIsotopes(by utility/background: e.g., ²²Na, ⁴⁰K, ¹³¹I, ¹³⁷Cs, ²⁰⁸Tl, ²¹⁴Pb/²¹⁴Bi, ⁶⁰Co, ¹³³Xe, ⁸⁵Kr, ¹³³Ba, ¹⁷⁷Lu, ¹⁸²Ta, …)ReferenceGammas_keV(top 1–3 γ lines commonly used)ReferenceFrequencies_Hz(computed for each energy)Notes(e.g., “β-only (no primary γ)”, “γ lines via daughters”, “PET annihilation 511 keV”, etc.)
Examples (a few you’ll recognize)
- K (19)⁴⁰K → 1460.8 keV → 3.53×10²⁰ Hz; particulate; global background line.
- Na (11)²²Na → 511 keV, 1274.5 keV → 1.24×10²⁰ Hz, 3.08×10²⁰ Hz; aerosol/solid; PET cal.
- I (53)¹³¹I → 364.5 keV → 8.81×10¹⁹ Hz; gas/aerosol; environmental surveillance.
- Cs (55)¹³⁷Cs → 661.7 keV → 1.60×10²⁰ Hz; aerosol/particulate; persistent tracer.
- Rn (86)²²²Rn (α); γ via daughters ²¹⁴Pb/²¹⁴Bi → 295/352/609/1120/1765 keV → frequencies computed; noble gas → aerosol daughters.
- Tl (81)(Th chain daughter proxy): ²⁰⁸Tl → 2614.5 keV → 6.32×10²⁰ Hz; atmospheric benchmark for high-energy γ.
- Co (27)⁶⁰Co → 1173.2, 1332.5 keV → 2.84×10²⁰, 3.22×10²⁰ Hz; solid; industry/medicine.
- Xe (54)¹³³Xe → 81 keV → 1.96×10¹⁹ Hz; noble gas; medical/atmospheric tracer.

Accuracy notes (so Logos stays clean)
- For many elements, isotopes vary; I selected standard reference lines used in the field (e.g., fallout monitoring, PET/SPECT, calibration, natural U/Th series).
- Elements that are β-only or α-dominant are annotated; where γ is dominated by daughters, I list the daughter γ lines (e.g., Rn → ²¹⁴Pb/²¹⁴Bi, U/Th series → ²¹⁴Pb/²¹⁴Bi or ²⁰⁸Tl).
- If you want every isotope’s full γ catalog, we can extend this by fetching ENSDF/IAEA line lists per nuclide and computing all frequencies; that’s bigger (thousands of lines), but I can generate it in chunks and package as JSON/CSV for SolveForce ingestion.
If you want me to expand beyond representative lines and generate a per-isotope emission catalog (e.g., “all isotopes of Z = 1–20 with their top γ lines + frequencies”), say the word and I’ll start building those batches into downloadable files to merge with your master.
