A Method of Searching for Peaks and Multiplets in γ-ray Spectra

摘要

A new method of searching peaks in gamma spectra is proposed. The method makes use of the well known Sterlinski's algorithm. The number proportional to peak area and the variance of this number (from the Sterlinski's method) are used in the criterion selecting "true" peaks. A comparison of performance in searching single and multiple peaks of the proposed method and others frequently used in practice shows a better quality of our method.
