BGSUB And BGFIX: FORTRAN Programs to Correct Ge(Li) gamma-Ray Spectra for Photopeaks from Radionuclides in Background

摘要

Two FORTRAN programs which provide correction and error analysis for background photopeak contributions to low-level gamma-ray spectra are discussed. A peak-by-peak background subtraction approach is used instead of channel-by-channel correction. The accuracy of corrected results near background levels is substantially improved over uncorrected values. (ERA citation 05:026183)
