Computer Code to Analyze Alpha Spectra Using a Spectral Stripping Approach.

Abstract

Sources of Po(210) of varying thicknesses were prepared by an evaporative precipitation method. Sources of Am(241) and Pu(240) were analyzed with the spectra of these sources as reference peak functions using a modificaton of an existing computer code. The results showed a reduction of the residual from using a reference peak with a full width at half maximum close to that of the analyzed source. The performance of the computer code was also studied using randomized Gaussian peaks. (Author)
