Abstract
Computer programs available from three major manufacturers of systems for γ-ray spectrometry were tested by measuring the same152Eu source under nearly identical conditions. Results for the evaluation of peaks with full widths at half maximum ranging from less than 3 and up to 15 channels were compared with those obtained by a reference program based on peak integration using optimum peak boundary selection. Two out of three commercial programs produced results without significant influence of peak width, but none of them could maintain the same level of statistical control throughout the range of interest that the reference program does.
