A peak fraction method of interpretation of gammaspectra is described. A computer technique is proposed for work under varying conditions which consists of successive applications of a series of procedures. Curves are smoothed and calibrated peak fraction areas are calculated. For peak fraction calibration, the points of inflection on a third order approximation curve are used. The shape of the peak fractions is checked with normalized Gaussian curves. This method permits work without a catalog of standard spectra and gives better results than spectrum stripping in the lower energy region of composite spectra. I t is suitable for the interpretation of trace elements in biological materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
