An Analytical method for unfolding gamma-ray spectra /

An analytical method and a computer code are described for unfolding complex gamma-ray spectra obtained with Ge(Li) detectors. The computer code will analyze 20 independent regions in a spectrum, with up to 350 data points and 11 full-energy lines in each region. Gaussian and exponential functions represent the data analytically. The best least-squares values of the energy, area, and width can be obtained for each full-energy peak. This report discusses the analytical techniques used and outlines the use of the code."United States Atomic Energy Commission Contract W-7405-ENG.36."--Cover"LA-4030 ; UC-34, Physics; TID-4500.""Written: July 1968; Distributed: March 19, 1969."Includes bibliographical references (pages 83-84).An analytical method and a computer code are described for unfolding complex gamma-ray spectra obtained with Ge(Li) detectors.
