Unfolding of pulse height spectra: the HEPRO program system

A system of programs is described which can be used for unfolding particle spectra from measured pulse height distributions provided the corresponding response functions are known. In the first part, least-squares algorithms known from literature are described and discussed together with the MIEKE Monte Carlo unfolding code. The second part contains a detailed description of the codes, which are available on a diskette. In the discussion of examples it is shown that the MIEKE Monte Carlo code is well suited for unfolding neutron and photon induced pulse height distributions. For the resulting particle spectra a consistent uncertainty analysis can be performed.
