| Photon Energy (keV) | Description |
| 82 | Strong, probably the 80.9971 line from the 5/2+ to 7/2+ Cs-133 transition |
| 277 | Medium, probably the 276.3997 line from the 1/2+(437 keV) to the 5/2+ (161 keV) Cs-133 transition |
| 303 | Medium, probably the 302.8510 line from the 3/2+(383 keV) to 5/2+ (81 keV) Cs-133 transition |
| 356 | Strong, likely the 356.0134 line from the 1/2+(437 keV) to 5/2+ (81 keV) Cs-133 transition |
| 384 | Medium, likely the 383.8480 line from the 3/2+ (383 keV) excited state of Cs-133 to the ground state |

| 1277 | Possibly Na-22 there is a 511 keV line. |
| 1460 | Possibly Eu-148 or Tm-168. Eu-148 has a very strong line at 630 keV and 550 keV but it is not seen. Tm-168 has a strong line at 731 but this is not observed. |

The 81 keV and 356 keV lines are the strongest and, when they occur in coincidence, represent the transition from the 436 keV excited state of Cs-133 to the 81 keV excited state and then the ground state.
If I put a cut on the strongest line (356 keV) and ask what photon energies are observed in coincidence with the other HpGe detector I see the spectrum
The 83, 276, 302, and 356 lines are observed when a 200 nsec coincidence window is required.
