Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis of Rock Samples by Means of Automated Peak-fitting Procedures on Micro Computers

Abstract

An intelligible γ-ray spectra data processing system is developed for instrumental neutron activation analyses. The system works on an ordinary personal computer into which analog-digital converted 4096 channel data are introduced. The functions include automated-peak search and smoothing for peaks and base lines at the same time. Users can set various conditions for the automatic calculation or choose the Kovell method in case many peaks are overlapped. The source list is written in BASIC language which, along with the executable system, is provided for public use.
