description

Abstract To determine the center of photopeaks normally occuring in γ-spectra in complex form, some modified methods are developed for most typical cases: a. single peak and constant background; b. single peak and exponentially decreasing background; c. two overlapping peaks at different distances of energy and varying peak intensities. The statistical fluctuations can be widely eliminated by use of a simple averaging method, so that peak center locations can be evaluated even in the case of relatively small peak intensities. Applying the methods proposed to some cases of strongly overlapping photopeaks, excellent agreement between the theoretical and experimentally obtained values could be achieved.
