A novel approach for disentangling packed peaks in the energy spectrum of γ detector arrays through γ-γ coincidence analysis

Abstract

A novel approach has been proposed to effectively separate cascaded and closely packed full energy peaks in the energy spectrum of γ detector arrays. By conducting a sequence of γ-γ coincidence analyses on the energy spectrum, it is feasible to obtain a spectrum that represents the product of these packed peaks. We have designated the newly obtained spectrum as the “product spectrum”. The energy spectrum and the newly obtained product spectrum can be simultaneously fitted, enabling a more precise fitting and separation of the closely packed peaks. This method has been mathematically proven, and validated through the use of Monte Carlo simulation. The systematic errors of this method are also taken into consideration.
