Über eine methode zur bestimmung der intensität komplexer photopeaks

1966

Abstract Analysing photopeaks really occuring in γ-ray spectra their asymmetrical structure can easily be demonstrated. To describe the shape of photopeaks this study therefore recommends the use of empirical functions instead of the normal distribution function. It can be shown, that in a wide energy and intensity range photopeaks are exactly described by two empirical functions which are normalized with respect to the fractional peak height. Taking account of this fact, a new procedure is derived which allows the decomposition of overlapping photopeaks even in the case of small energy distance and unfavorable intensity ratio. The method applied to numerous examples under practical conditi…
