A Computer Code to Analyze Alpha Spectra.

Abstract

A computer code was modified to analyze pulse-height spectra detected by semiconductor detectors. The program fit the spectra with a reference peak which was expressed as a table of values. The results of the analysis were dependent upon reference peak chosen; hence, reference peak selection became the main emphasis. The error resulting in each analysis was greater than three standard deviations of the actual area and was suspected to have occurred because of miscalculation of the reference peak. (Author)
