A new method for the peak analysis of gamma-ray spectra
A new method for calculating the peak areas in high-resolution gamma-ray spectra is presented. This approach minimizes the weighted sum of squares for the differences between consecutive channel counts of the continuous background within the studied spectral region, assuming a linear background dependence on the energy. The results obtained using the new method agree, within the statistical uncertainties of the measured channel content, with those derived from both the “linear weighted Least squares” method and the “Region of interest” method, provided the peaks are on a continuous background, which can be well approximated with a linear dependence on energy. Since the correlation coefficients between the total counts, peak counts, and background counts derived with the new method differ from those obtained using existing methods, the proposed method offers an independent approach to gamma-ray spectral peak analysis.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
